Wish submitted by:

Lance is a sweet and energetic boy who loves to smile and bring joy to those around him. He is the third of four children and the middle boy in his family. Lance has been diagnosed with autism, and while he experiences challenges at times, he continues to show incredible resilience and happiness. Despite difficult experiences early in life, Lance continues to approach the world with curiosity and excitement. He has a bright personality and enjoys the simple things that make him happy. Some of Lance’s favorite things include Spider-Man, Toy Story, Buzz Lightyear, and Baby Shark. He also loves oranges, which are one of his favorite snacks. Lance enjoys activities that allow him to move, explore, and engage with the characters and music he loves. Lance’s smile and joyful spirit make him a very special little boy. With encouragement and support, he continues to grow, learn, and share his light with everyone around him. He and his family are struggling with housing instability.

Lance is looking forward to starting the school year with a comfortable new pair of shoes. He had hoped to attend the recent Shoes for the Shoeless event, where children are measured and can choose a pair of shoes, but his family wasn't able to attend because his mother was ill. A Skechers gift card would allow Lance to visit the store, have his feet measured, and pick out shoes that fit properly and feel comfortable. Since shoe sizes can vary, being able to try them on in person will help ensure he finds the perfect pair. Your generosity would help Lance begin the school year feeling comfortable, confident, and ready to learn while supporting a hardworking single mom who is doing everything she can to provide for her children.
