Alaia, 6 years old, NJ | 16 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Alaia is kind-hearted and always puts others before herself, ensuring that everyone around her feels safe and cared for. She is willing to sacrifice the little things she has to help those in need. Alaia is supported by her grandmother, who unfortunately lives on a fixed income. Though Alaia is a smart girl, she sometimes wonders about her parents and feels a lack of love. However, she doesn’t express these feelings outwardly; instead, she hides them away. Despite this, she has a bright future ahead of her, and the passion in her heart will help her overcome difficult times. Alaia enjoys doing her nails, playing with dolls, coloring, and drawing pictures that represent how she sees the world. She also loves to play dress-up and pretend to be a teacher with her cousin, whom she often plays with.

Alaia prefers wearing dresses and sandals, but as the weather turns colder, she needs a reliable pair of sneakers to keep her feet warm and help her stay healthy outdoors. Her grandmother is currently facing major health issues alongside an unexpected move, making it difficult to afford extra essentials right now. Having a sturdy pair of everyday sneakers will ensure Alaia stays warm, comfortable, and ready to play outside all season long.
