Paige, 13 years old, CA | NEEDED BY 08/21

Wish submitted by:

Paige was removed from her mother and father at the age of two and now lives with her aunt. As a middle school student, she is actively involved in dance and participates in Praise Dance at her church. She has also enjoyed cheerleading for five years, where her team reached the finals, sparking her desire to cheer again. Additionally, Paige has a passion for Theater Arts and is part of a gifted program at her school. She plans to attend college to improve herself and surpass her parents, inspired by her aunt, who has shown her a different path for raising children in the future.

Paige is attending a school with a strict dress code that requires specific uniform attire, and she is also in desperate need of durable shoes to replace her current pair, which are falling apart. She is being lovingly raised by her aunt, but household resources are tight, making extra expenses like new footwear difficult to cover. Providing Paige with school-approved shoes will keep her comfortable, protect her feet, and give her the confidence to walk into class each day ready to learn and fit in with her peers.
