Angelina, 20 years old, CA | 1 DAY WAITING | NEEDED BY 04/10

Wish submitted by:

Angelina entered the foster system at a young age, carrying the weight of both physical and emotional abuse. Her childhood was unstable, marked by constant change and uncertainty; however, she refused to let her past define her future. Now in college, she has found a sense of purpose on the track team.

Angelina wants a pair of Nike V5 shoes because good running shoes will help her train safely and perform at her best. With the right gear, she can keep moving forward, using each race as a step toward a brighter future. For her, running is more than just a sport; it’s about freedom, release, and hope. Each step helps her leave her pain behind. The track is her safe space, her escape, and her inspiration. Angelina feels that every race she runs is a chance to build a new life where she is in control.
