Max, 11 years old, NJ | NEEDED BY 08/07

Wish submitted by:

Max is the second oldest child in a family of five, with four younger siblings. His mother relies on him to help care for the younger children, which leaves Max with little time to play outside with his friends. She often expresses how supportive Max is, both to her and to his siblings. Max is in the 6th grade and is soft-spoken, excelling in academics and maintaining good attendance.

Max is in urgent need of new clothing for the upcoming school year. Having grown significantly over the summer, he can no longer wear much of his existing wardrobe, including several pairs of shoes. His fall and winter clothes, which he once loved, now feel tight and uncomfortable, leaving him with limited options as he prepares to head back to school. It’s clear that a shopping trip is essential to ensure he has the right fit and style for the new semester.
