Kimo, 11 years old, CA | 21 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Kimo is a smart, witty young person in foster care who has maintained strong grades despite challenges this year, showing resilience and a real commitment to his education. He is especially interested in history and is currently learning about early civilizations like Ancient Egypt. He enjoys learning about how pyramids were built, the role of pharaohs, and how hieroglyphics were used for communication. Kimo likes discussing these topics and often brings humor and curiosity into conversations, asking thoughtful questions and making connections between the past and present. He gets along well with peers and adults. While he can be cautious at first, he opens up when he feels safe and supported. Kimo shows strong academic and social potential and continues to benefit from encouragement, stability, and opportunities to explore his interests.

Kimo would like a Foot Locker gift card so he can go to the store and try on different shoes to find the right fit. He is currently between sizes and needs something comfortable and supportive for school and everyday wear. Being able to choose his own shoes would give him a sense of independence and confidence. It would also ensure he gets a pair that fits well, helping him stay active, comfortable, and focused throughout his day.
