Alan, 12 years old, VA

Wish submitted by:

Alan is a smart and helpful young man. He was placed in foster care at the age of 2. Alan loves to play basketball and ride his bike. He has over come many obstacles and continues to be loving.

Alan loves to wear Crocs to school and prefers them over tennis shoes unless the weather is bad. He has grown a lot recently and has outgrown most of his clothes and shoes. He has requested a new pair of Crocs since his old ones are worn out and too small. Alan lives with his older cousin, who has a disability, and the family would appreciate financial help to buy him the new Crocs. Getting them would not only make Alan happy but also lighten some of the financial strain on the family.
