Nate, 24 years old, NY | 22 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Nate is recently moved into his own apartment for the very first time. Prior to this, Nate spent his adolescence in foster care and then his early adult years living on a friend's couch for multiple years. Nate is a great self-advocate--someone who is not afraid to tell others what he wants and, more importantly, what he deserves.

Nate has recently moved into his own apartment and is actively interviewing for jobs while adjusting to living independently. He is working hard to take care of his basic needs and build stability during this important transition. At this time, Nate could really use a new pair of shoes. With limited income going toward essential expenses, he is unable to purchase them on his own. A reliable, presentable pair of shoes would make a meaningful difference for him—helping him feel confident and prepared during job interviews, while also providing something practical for daily wear. This support would help Nate as he continues working toward employment and stability, giving him one less barrier as he focuses on building a strong foundation in this next chapter of his life.
