Wish submitted by:

Ka'Myia is a kind, resilient, and caring young person who has experienced the challenges of homelessness with her mother and siblings and continues to show strength and determination. Despite the changes and uncertainty they have faced, they remain hopeful and are excited about creating positive memories and enjoying new experiences. They have a warm personality and a caring heart. They enjoy spending time with the people they love, exploring their interests, and simply having opportunities to be a kid. Their ability to keep smiling, stay curious, and look forward to the future makes them truly special. What stands out most about this wish maker is their resilience. They have continued to grow, learn, and build meaningful relationships throughout their foster care journey. This wish is an opportunity to celebrate who they are, recognize how far they have come, and give them a special experience that they can remember for years to come.

Ka'Myia is asking for new shoes for school because having a new, comfortable pair would help them feel confident, prepared, and excited for the school year. After experiencing the challenges of homeless with her mother and brothers, having something new that is truly their own would be especially meaningful. New shoes would provide both a practical need and an emotional boost. They would allow this wish maker to start school feeling comfortable and confident while helping them feel included among their peers. More importantly, this wish is a simple way to remind them that they are supported, valued, and deserving of having something special to look forward to.
