Dakota, 19 years old, GA

Wish submitted by:

Dakota is a bright and curious young man who loves learning how things work. He enjoys taking apart electronics and putting them back together, using the process to better understand how they function. While he can be a little shy at first, Dakota has a big smile and a kind personality that shines through once you get to know him. He enjoys spending time with his friends and values the time he gets to spend with his family. Having experienced foster care as a child, Dakota has faced challenges with resilience and continues to grow into a thoughtful and capable young person.

Dakota is wishing for a pair of Nike Air Force 1 ’07 shoes. During his time in foster care, he rarely had the opportunity to own brand-name items like many of his peers. A new pair of these classic sneakers would help him feel more confident, included, and comfortable at school and in social settings. For Dakota, this wish is about more than just shoes—it is about feeling a sense of belonging and pride. Your support would help make a meaningful difference and bring a big smile to his face.
