Sam, 10 years old, CA | 7 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Sam is a bright, kind, and resilient young boy currently in foster care. He enjoys learning and especially loves math, where he enjoys solving problems and challenging himself. During the summer, Sam likes to stay active by spending time at his local park, where he can often be found bouncing his basketball and practicing his skills. He also enjoys swimming and looks forward to visiting the local pool whenever he has the chance. Sam has a fun-loving personality, enjoys being outdoors, and is always excited to try new activities. As he prepares for the new school year, he is eager to continue learning, make new friends, and build on his many strengths.

Sam would love a new pair of black, gray, and white Jordan sneakers to help him start the new school year feeling confident and ready to succeed. Over the summer, Sam experienced a growth spurt and has outgrown his current shoes, leaving him without a pair of sneakers that fit properly. He has been wearing Crocs throughout the summer because they are the only shoes that still fit comfortably. As he prepares to return to school, Sam is excited about the opportunity to have a stylish, comfortable pair of shoes that he can wear every day. A new pair of Jordans would not only meet an important practical need but would also boost his confidence, help him feel like he fits in with his peers, and allow him to begin the school year with pride and enthusiasm.
