Cason, 15 years old, NC

Wish submitted by:

Cason entered foster care and stayed for about a year in a traditional foster home before being moved to a kinship placement, where he is likely to remain. He has a cheerful and optimistic personality. Although he struggles in school and has faced bullying, he has shown resilience and consistently tries to maintain a positive attitude. He is a great friend to his peers and shows respect to his teachers. Cason demonstrates kindness and compassion toward others. His favorite activities include eating pizza, swimming, and attending Vacation Bible School.

Cason wishes for a pair of slip-on sneakers because his current shoes are worn out. These comfortable sneakers will allow him to stay active throughout the summer. Having fresh shoes will boost his confidence and help him feel good about himself.
