Edgar, 19 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Edgar's childhood was unstable as he moved between different foster homes, never really connecting with anyone. Group homes gave him some stability, but he felt invisible there. He was afraid to trust others, so he turned to music, which helped him escape and feel connected. Through each song, Edgar created a peaceful world where he felt understood and free.

Along with his dream Jordans, Edgar’s asking for some new Nike socks — the classic black and white pairs with the swoosh stitched just right. He says nothing feels better than slipping into a clean pair before heading out, especially when they match the sneakers he’s been wishing for. It’s a small thing, but for Edgar, those socks mean comfort, confidence, and starting fresh from the ground up.
