Wish submitted by:

Eli is a twin who is on the brink of some big changes. With the help of his caseworker, he’ll soon be moving into his first apartment and starting his very first job. It hasn’t been an easy journey; Eli came into foster care homeless but still managed to keep his grades up and graduate on time. Balancing all that was tough, but he made it through. When he gets some downtime, Eli loves playing video games and hanging out with his friends. Exciting times are ahead for him!

Eli has just started his first job at a fast-food restaurant, where he will be on his feet all day. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a good pair of shoes to support him while he works. For his birthday, he has asked for a reliable pair of boots. Eli is genuinely excited about starting this job and being able to support himself for the first time in his life. Having a new pair of shoes would greatly contribute to his success in this new chapter!
