Monty, 11 years old, MO | NEEDED BY 08/21

Wish submitted by:

Monty is a fun loving kid who is very active in sports. He wants to try every sport there is but his favorite is football. He is residing in foster care and working hard to not let his life's obstacles keep him down. He has such a positive outlook and tries to find the best in every situation. He isn't a big fan of school but does well. His favorite color is red and his favorite food is cheese pizza.

Monty is getting ready to start a new school year, and like a lot of kids his age, how he looks and feels walking through those doors matters a lot. Fitting in and feeling confident in front of his peers is a big deal at this stage, and something as simple as a great backpack can make a real difference in how a kid feels on day one. Monty has his heart set on a Puma brand backpack, and it would mean even more if it came in his favorite color, red. Having a backpack he's genuinely excited about would give Monty a boost of confidence as he starts the year, letting him walk in feeling like himself and ready to take on whatever the new school year brings.
