Hayden, 14 years old, MO | 4 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 09/11

Wish submitted by:

Hayden is a wonderful pre-teen currently in relative care, known for his kindness, thoughtfulness, and caring nature. He rarely asks for anything and is genuinely appreciative of what he has, often finding joy in helping others and ensuring those around him feel valued. His respectful demeanor, well-mannered behavior, and consideration for others' feelings make him a delight to be around. With his gentle spirit and positive outlook, Hayden possesses qualities that will help him thrive, and he truly deserves continued support, encouragement, and opportunities to grow and succeed.

A shopping trip to Buckle would give Hayden the opportunity to choose new back-to-school clothing and feel confident as he begins high school. Because his family is living on a strict budget due to disability, new clothing is not something he gets often. Having the chance to select clothes that fit his personal style would help Hayden feel included and more comfortable with his peers. Starting high school in clothing he feels good wearing could give him an added boost of confidence during an important transition in his life. This shopping experience would also allow Hayden to feel the excitement of picking out clothes for himself and making choices about what he likes. Most importantly, it would remind him that he is valued and deserving of having something special to look forward to.
