Alexander, 17 years old, NJ |

Wish submitted by:

Alex is funny, kind and just like any boy his age; however due to trauma in his life he can shut down at times and become very introverted and withdrawn. He has been in placement for a few years and has moved multiple time. He likes to be active and play outside with his friends. He enjoys playing basketball and baseball the most. When he gets upset, he likes to be left alone and stays in his room and watches TV or plays with Legos.

Alexander is small for his age and sometimes feels self-conscious about it. He needs a new pair of sneakers and would like black Air Force Ones. He prefers the all-black style because it doesn’t draw attention to his feet. He also wants them for his birthday since many of his friends wear the same shoes.
