Shawn, 11 years old, NJ | 3 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Shawn has a passion for sports and is naturally athletic. He enjoys playing football and being part of a team with his friends. In his free time, he loves spending time with his siblings, whom he is separated from. Since the loss of his father, his grandmother has been taking care of him, and Shawn aims to make her proud. He is known for always maintaining a positive outlook and being a person of his word. Shawn has ambitious plans to pursue a career in the NFL in the future.

Shawn is in urgent need of a new pair of all-black sneakers to comply with his school's strict uniform policy as he prepares for the upcoming school year. After recently losing his great-grandmother, his grandmother is facing overwhelming financial burdens from planning the funeral without family assistance. With Shawn also rapidly outgrowing his current shoes, receiving a new pair would bring immense relief to his family and ensure he steps into the classroom confident, comfortable, and fully prepared for class.
