Wish submitted by:

De'andre is a kind, respectful young man who enjoys playing basketball, video games, and spending time with his friends. He works hard in school, earns good grades, and is known for treating others with kindness and respect. Despite facing difficult circumstances, De'andre continues to maintain a positive attitude and has a caring heart. After being removed from his parents' care due to substance abuse, De'andre has been lovingly cared for by his elderly grandmother, who has worked hard to provide him with a safe and stable home. While he misses his mom and cherishes the time they are able to spend together, he remains hopeful that one day they will be reunited. Through it all, De'andre continues to show resilience, maturity, and determination.

De'andre is an active young man who enjoys playing basketball, spending time with friends, and staying on the move. As he prepares to head back to school, he is hoping for a new pair of shoes that can keep up with his active lifestyle, both in the classroom and on the basketball court. New Nike shoes would allow De'andre to be professionally fitted for a comfortable and supportive pair that he can proudly wear throughout the school year. Having new shoes would give him the confidence to focus on his studies, enjoy recess and sports, and continue doing the things he loves most.
