Santiago, 12 years old, NY | NEEDED BY 09/05

Wish submitted by:

Santiago is a joyful boy from Venezuela who lives with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and chronic respiratory difficulties. Since arriving in the United States, he and his mother have been living in a shelter. Santiago depends on his mom for all of his care, yet he lights up every room with his smile and gentle spirit. He has faced many challenges but continues to inspire everyone around him with his courage and warmth.

Santiago is looking forward to getting new clothes and sneakers to feel comfortable and confident for school. He wants to buy pants, shirts, socks, and undergarments. Despite living with cerebral palsy, he doesn't let it hold him back from fully enjoying life. Santiago wants his clothing to express who he is and can't wait to return to school. This wish was broken into two parts to allow for an amazing shopping experience! This is wish 1 of 2.
