Zelma, 13 years old, NC | 2 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 03/20

Wish submitted by:

After several years in foster care, Zelma has now been placed in a guardianship, providing her with a stable and nurturing environment. She enjoys expressing her love for fashion, spending quality time with friends, and going to the movies. Coming into care with a large sibling group, Zelma is especially happy to remain close to her sisters. The routine and structure of her new life have been instrumental in helping her stay on track.

Zelma really wants a new pair of Adidas sneakers because her current ones are falling apart and just don’t cut it anymore. She feels a bit self-conscious about wearing them, especially during PE classes where she wants to feel her best. A fresh pair of stylish sneakers would not only look great but also give her the support she needs to stay active and participate confidently in sports. With the school year winding down, she’s hoping that a nice pair of new kicks will help her finish strong and feel good about herself both in the classroom and during activities. Plus, who wouldn’t feel more motivated with some cool new sneakers on?
