Alex, 16 years old, OR | 36 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Alex is a fun-loving and adventurous person who really enjoys being outdoors. Whether skateboarding, hiking on trails, or swimming in the ocean, being outside makes Alex feel free. Their favorite thrill is cliff diving—standing at the edge, feeling the wind, and then jumping in. They love the excitement of it all, especially when it comes to roller coasters; the bigger the drop, the more they laugh! Life hasn’t always been easy for Alex. They entered the foster care system when they were just five years old after losing their mother. Since then, they have moved between different foster homes, which has made it hard for them to feel safe and settled. But Alex keeps hoping that this time, with their current placement, they might really belong somewhere and build trust with others. Despite everything they've been through, Alex is strong and resilient. They're still dreaming big, diving into new adventures, and believing that they can find stability and love in their life.

Alex is asking for a new pair of Gamma Blue Jordans, which are their favorite shoes and something they have wanted for a very long time. They have always loved the design and the bold Gamma Blue color, and owning this pair has been a lifelong dream. Getting these Jordans would be incredibly special for Alex, as they would bring a sense of excitement, confidence, and joy every time they wear them. More than just a pair of shoes, these Jordans represent a hope that Alex has held onto for years, and having them would mean so much.
