Ladaraie, 19 years old, GA

Wish submitted by:

Ladaraie is a kind and resilient young man who has overcome many challenges in his life. He enjoys playing sports and reading in his free time and has been working hard to do well in school. Ladaraie has big goals for his future and hopes to attend college one day. Having experienced foster care, he understands the importance of perseverance and making the most of every opportunity. Despite the obstacles he has faced, Ladaraie remains focused on building a bright future for himself.

Ladaraie is wishing for a pair of Nike Luka 77 Basketball Shoes from Nike. During his time in foster care, he did not often have the chance to own the same stylish, high-quality shoes that many of his peers wear. A new pair of these basketball shoes would help him feel more confident on and off the court, giving him a sense of pride and belonging in social settings. For Ladaraie, this wish is about more than just a pair of shoes—it represents confidence, inclusion, and the opportunity to feel like he truly fits in.
