Lamont, 10 years old, OH | 17 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Lamont is a gentle and kind-hearted young boy who has faced significant changes in his life, including time in foster care and a recent reunion with his family. Unfortunately, when his family lost their home, he had to transition to living with his father, which has been challenging for him. Shy by nature, Lamont takes time to feel comfortable around others, but once he does, his creativity shines through in his love for music and drawing. He often uses fidget items to help him stay calm during turbulent times.

Due to recent housing challenges and transitions between households, Lamont is in need of updated spring clothing. A trip to Burlington will allow Lamont to pick out clothes that fit him properly and help him feel confident and comfortable at school. For a young man who is already shy, having clothes he feels good in can make a big difference in his self-esteem and willingness to engage with others. This wish is about more than clothing; it’s about helping Lamont feel secure, included, and confident as he navigates a new chapter in his life.
