Matt, 19 years old, FL | 9 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Matt is a responsible and kind-hearted former foster youth who loves anime and spending time with friends. He stays in touch with his family in another state and hopes to move closer to them after graduating. Although he doesn’t want to be adopted, he values his family connections and encourages his younger brother to move with his adoptive family for stability. While his brother experiences separation for the first time, their strong bond drives Matt’s desire to maintain connections with those he loves most.

Matt is starting a new job and is excited about this step toward greater independence. As he prepares for this opportunity, he needs a durable pair of sneakers that can provide the comfort and support he will need while working long hours on his feet. These shoes will not only help Matt feel prepared for his new role but also allow him to comfortably participate in activities with his friends outside of work. For Matt, this new pair of sneakers represents encouragement, support, and the confidence to continue working toward his goals.
