Manny, 12 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING | NEEDED BY 09/18

Wish submitted by:

Manny is energetic, curious, and sharp, right in that stage of figuring out who he is and where he fits in as he heads into middle school. He loves playing soccer, cracking jokes, and gaming with friends whenever he gets the chance. His family is newly working with the Division to build more stability, and through it all Manny keeps that same easygoing, funny personality.

Manny is starting middle school and is nervous about fitting in and making new friends. He's hoping a Nike backpack will help him blend in instead of standing out for having less than everyone else, and honestly, it's the kind of small thing that could make a big difference in how he feels walking through the halls. This backpack would give Manny exactly the confidence boost he needs right now.
