Wish submitted by:

Skylar loves to dance, play Roblox, and spend time with her friends. She enjoys listening to music and playing sports like flag football, volleyball, and basketball. Recently, her grandmother took custody of her, and Skylar is adjusting to this new living situation. Despite missing her parents, she keeps a smile on her face and enjoys being with her grandmother. Skylar is an honor roll student and tries to stay positive, making sure her situation doesn't bring her down.

Skylar will start school in September and lives with her grandmother, who is on a fixed income and can only afford her uniforms, which are quite expensive. As part of her school attire, Skylar needs all-black sneakers and has a specific pair in mind. However, she worries that due to her grandmother’s limited finances, she may not be able to get them. As Skylar adjusts to her new life with her grandmother, she understands that their financial situation has changed, so she doesn’t ask for much. Having these sneakers would not only complete her uniform and prepare her for her first day of school, but it would also boost her confidence around her peers.
