Orlando, 21 years old, OR | 45 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Orlando's early childhood was marked by instability in foster homes until his grandmother provided a stable kinship placement. This nurturing environment allowed him to discover a talent for working with his hands and a passion for cars. Now training to be a mechanic, Orlando feels at home in the shop and dreams of opening his own auto repair business. His goal is to not only pursue his passion but also create opportunities for other young people like himself, turning his challenges into a foundation for independence and purpose.

Many of Orlando's peers wear Nike shoes and he has expressed for a while that he would like his own pair. These shoes are comfortable, versatile, and easy to slip on. He can wear them for any occasion, from relaxing at home to spending time with friends. For Orlando, these shoes will make him feel included and remind him that he is valued.
