Tristan, 20 years old, OR | 28 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Tristan spent most of his childhood moving in and out of foster homes, never staying in one place long enough to feel settled. When he aged out of foster care, he faced adulthood without the safety net many take for granted, which was lonely and confusing. Now, he is intentionally working to reconnect with his biological family, navigating gaps and old wounds while having hard conversations. Outside of family matters, soccer serves as his escape and joy, providing freedom whether he's playing with friends or on his own. Tristan also dreams of opening a home remodeling business one day, inspired by the idea of transforming something worn-down into something beautiful and livable. This goal mirrors his journey of rebuilding his life and relationships. He is committed to showing up and allowing space for growth.

Tristan is asking for a pair of Jordans because he truly needs new shoes and has been hoping for these for a long time. The shoes he wears now are worn out, tired, and falling apart, which has deeply affected how he feels about himself. Something as simple as shoes can carry so much weight, and right now they leave him feeling embarrassed and lacking confidence to the point where he often does not want to go out. A new pair of Jordans would be more than just shoes, they would give Tristan comfort, confidence, and the chance to feel proud when he steps outside.
