Wish submitted by:

Central Missouri Foster Care & Adoption Association

Landon is a spirited and adventurous young man who approaches life with curiosity and energy. Whether he’s exploring the outdoors, trying something new, or just finding ways to stay active, Landon has a natural drive to keep moving and discovering what the world has to offer. Like many boys his age, he’s in that in-between stage—growing into himself, testing his independence, and figuring out who he wants to be, all while still holding onto a playful, youthful side. As a big brother, Landon carries a quiet sense of responsibility and pride. He may not always say it out loud, but he looks out for his younger siblings in ways both big and small—whether that’s stepping in to help, setting an example, or simply being someone they can look up to. He has a protective heart and a natural instinct to care for those closest to him. Landon is the kind of kid who thrives on adventure, laughter, and connection. He’s still writing his story, but it’s already clear that he has a strong heart, a bold spirit, and the kind of character that will continue to grow in all the best ways.

Landon is going through a tough time at just 14 years old. After a fire destroyed his home and all his belongings, he’s had to move in with relatives. Now, he’s trying to adjust to a new house, a new school, and a whole new life. It’s been really hard for him to lose the things that used to make him feel safe and comfortable. At this age, fitting in and feeling good about yourself is so important, and Landon is no different. He’s really looking forward to rebuilding his wardrobe so he can express his personality and feel more at ease around his friends. Being able to pick out his own shoes would not only empower him but also help him feel a bit more normal in this challenging time. Supporting him in this way is about more than just getting new clothes—it’s about helping him feel more confident and secure as he moves forward.
