Malik, 9 years old, CA |

Wish submitted by:

Malik is an imaginative child who enjoys playing video games, where he explores new adventures and makes friends. Despite facing challenges with ADHD and being on the autism spectrum, he shows great strength. After spending time in foster care due to witnessing domestic violence, he is now beginning to heal and embrace new possibilities. With support, he is ready to discover his potential and enjoy each day.

Malik is a bright and energetic young boy who is growing quickly and facing the challenges that come with it. Recently, he experienced bullying because he did not have a new pair of shoes. Although his mother was able to afford one pair, Malik has already outgrown them, leaving him without proper footwear. A new pair of shoes would mean so much to Malik—helping him feel confident, excited, and free from the worry of being bullied. This gift would not only support Malik’s self-esteem but also ease the financial burden on his mother, who is doing her best to provide for him.
