Emily, 17 years old, PA

Wish submitted by:

Emily and her siblings were placed in the foster care system. She takes pride in being the big sister to her three younger siblings and often looks after them. Emily enjoys learning about child development to improve her caregiving skills and is interested in pursuing a job at a daycare.

Emily and her family have relied on hand-me-downs, and she has never owned her own pair of sneakers. Recently, she has been eyeing a pair of Saucony Omni shoes that some of her friends at school have. Having something new to be excited about is significant at her age. With a Footlocker gift card, she can get the right size and find new Sauconys or another pair of shoes that fit perfectly. New sneakers will also help her stay comfortable while caring for babies at her new daycare job.
