Anthony, 28 years old, NC |

Wish submitted by:

Anthony is a cheerful young man who has experienced trauma during his time in foster care. He was moved frequently throughout his childhood and has been on his own since aging out of the system. Recently, he graduated from boot camp and joined the Army, feeling a sense of relief at having completed the rigorous training. Anthony looks forward to attending college one day and starting a family of his own. He believes he has had a slow start in life and simply needs a bit of support and encouragement to move forward.

Anthony really hopes to receive a pair of Brooks sneakers for his birthday. He needs shoes that provide ample support, as he spends most of his day on his feet. Having the right footwear would greatly alleviate the strain on his feet and legs, making this his top birthday wish.
