Maya, 9 years old, NJ | 5 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 08/21

Wish submitted by:

Maya is the youngest of three siblings. She loves playing with Barbie dolls and riding her bike. Her favorite color is orange, and she wears it at least once a week. When she grows up, she would like to become a schoolteacher.

Maya enjoys expressing herself through her personal style, and a new pair of sneakers in her favorite color, purple, would help her feel confident and excited as she walks into the classroom. Fashion is a special way for Maya to show who she is and feel connected with her peers. With the rising cost of back-to-school expenses, her family has had to prioritize basic needs over purchasing new shoes this year. Receiving a new pair of sneakers would lift a burden from her family while giving Maya the confidence to feel comfortable, included, and ready to shine.
