Jessie, 21 years old, OR | 52 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Jessie aged out of the foster care system, shaped by years of uncertainty. He found stability in math, which made sense when everything else didn't. This connection led him to pursue a college degree to become a math teacher. Now thriving as a college student, Jessie is driven by his passion for the subject and a desire to support students facing challenges like his own. He aims to inspire them and demonstrate that their past doesn’t have to define their future.

Jessie is asking for a pair of Jordans because his current shoes are worn out and no longer provide the comfort or support he needs. Having a reliable pair of shoes is important for everyday life—whether he is going to school, running errands, or spending time with friends in the community. Right now, his worn-out shoes can make daily activities uncomfortable and sometimes even affect his confidence. A new pair of Jordans would mean more than just having new shoes. Jordans are something Jessie has admired for a long time, and receiving a pair would make him feel proud and excited to wear something he truly likes. It would give him the comfort he needs to move through his day with ease, while also helping him feel more confident and included among his peers. Receiving this wish would be a meaningful boost for Jessie. It would provide him with practical support for his daily life while also giving him something special that helps him feel valued, confident, and ready to take on each day.
