A new pair of shoes for Mario who loves running in gym class

Posted Oct 26, 2016
Mario would like a pair of shoes for his wish. Recently they started to run the mile during gym at his school and he would like a real pair of running shoes. He thinks that they will make him run faster and make it easier to run farther. Mario found a pair online that he thinks is perfect.

Mario is 20 years old and lives in CA

Mario is a 12-year-old young man who has resided at his current group home for about 15 months; he is in the 7th grade. His favorite subjects in school this year are science and P.E. his favorite sport is football. He does a wonderful job of being the big brother. All three of them should be going home soon and that makes them very happy!!
