Shelby, 16 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Shelby is a smart and determined young lady living in a children’s home while working towards an independent living program. Despite everything she has been through, she remains resilient and strong. Shelby loves to cook and enjoys reading. She excels in school and often tutors younger children.

Shelby wishes for a new pair of Nike shoes. Her current pair is badly worn out and is being held together with tape, making it difficult for her to stay comfortable throughout the day. A new pair of shoes would provide the support and durability she needs while also helping her feel confident. For Shelby, this wish is about more than just footwear. Having a reliable pair of shoes would allow her to focus on her goals without worrying about her worn-out sneakers. A fresh pair of Nikes would help her feel comfortable, confident, and ready to take on whatever comes next.
