Connor, 12 years old, NJ | 18 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Connor is a talented young man who excels in school and plays for an undefeated football team. He often makes the honor roll without much studying. His ability to overcome tough situations inspires his teammates and coach. He loves the Kansas City Chiefs and enjoys reading about and playing football. Despite his skills, Connor faces challenges at home, as his father is in prison and his mother struggles with addiction. He currently lives with a family friend who believes in him. Football provides Connor with a safe space and supportive coaches. With the right help, he has the potential to achieve great things.

Connor has always dreamed of owning a pair of Jordans, but unfortunately, his current sneakers have become too small. Coming from a low-income background, Connor, like many young people his age, wishes to have nice things—especially brand-name items that help him feel confident and included. A pair of Jordans would not only give him a comfortable, properly fitting shoe, but would also boost his self-esteem and help him feel more connected to his peers during an important stage of development. This wish would mean a great deal to Connor and would make a meaningful difference in his daily life.
