Juan, 12 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Juan is thoughtful and responsible. He is currently in foster care with his younger brother and older sister. He naturally steps into a supportive, protective role, always looking out for those he cares about. Juan takes pride in doing well in school and works hard to stay focused on his goals, even during challenging times. He has a calm and steady personality, with a maturity that stands out to those around him. Juan enjoys spending time outdoors and playing games, especially when he can share those moments with his brother. He is respectful, kind, and determined, with a quiet strength that helps him continue moving forward with hope for his future.

Juan would greatly appreciate a gift card to Journeys so he can pick out a comfortable pair of shoes of his own. When he arrived, he only had one pair that doesn’t fit well, making it difficult for him to stay comfortable throughout the day. Having properly fitting shoes would help him feel more confident at school and during daily activities. It would mean a lot to Juan to choose something that fits him well and supports him as he continues to grow.
