Tim, 10 years old, CA |

Wish submitted by:

Tim has faced significant loss and unimaginable hardships in his young life. He deeply cares about his family and possesses a wisdom beyond his years. He has been separated from his oldest sibling, whom he admires greatly. Things have been particularly challenging for him due to multiple placement changes, none of which were his fault. He has struggled to cope with these losses and to feel a sense of belonging. Despite these difficulties, Tim continually displays remarkable creativity and a kind heart. He is an exceptional artist and is currently collaborating with his therapist to design a skateboard. Tim loves 90s style and music, and he enjoys expressing himself through fashion and art.

While adjusting to foster care, and being separated from his family, he has held onto fashion as a way to express himself and feel confident. He talks nonstop about Jordan 4s. Like many children in care, he misses out on having new and nice things that make him feel special and are truly "his." These shoes represent more than style - they represent belonging, confidence, and joy.
