Tiana, 20 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Tiana is a first-generation college student working toward a degree in social work. She aged out of foster care and now balances a full class schedule with a 3 a.m. shift at the FedEx sorting facility to support herself. Her dream is to become a social worker so she can advocate for youth who’ve experienced trauma—just like she has. She faced some housing stablity and worked to find some supportive services. Since then, she’s been focused on building her financial skills, maintaining her grades, and adjusting to independent living.

Tiana is a full-time college student studying social work—and she works the overnight shift at FedEx starting at 3 a.m. most days. Between her job and walking across campus, she’s on her feet constantly. She wishes for a pair of supportive cork footbed clogs that would give her everyday relief and help prevent the foot and back pain she’s been experiencing. With arch support and a sturdy fit, they’re the kind of comfort she rarely invests in for herself, but really needs.
