Alexander, 16 years old, MO | 1 DAY WAITING | NEEDED BY 08/28

Wish submitted by:

Alexander is a kind and hardworking teenager who is learning to enjoy life and embrace the joys of childhood after a difficult past in an isolated and abusive home. Since entering foster care, he has found a safe and supportive environment that has allowed him to discover new interests, such as basketball and school, while building meaningful connections with others. Alexander is also an incredibly talented artist with a creative spirit and a deep love for animals. As he continues to grow and learn, he is dedicated to exploring the many possibilities that his future holds.

Alexander wishes for a new pair of school shoes to help him start the school year feeling confident and prepared. Having a comfortable pair of shoes that are his own would give him something practical to look forward to while also helping him feel included and ready to participate in school and activities. This simple wish serves as a meaningful reminder to Alexander that he deserves to have his needs met and to feel supported as he continues to build a brighter future.
