Wish submitted by:

Shawn is a wonderful young man who, despite struggling with the lasting effects of abuse and neglect, has a bright and caring spirit. With many special needs, he requires a high level of care and attention, but he thrives when he is part of a loving family. Shawn enjoys working on fixing things and finding satisfaction in hands-on activities. He has a fondness for Chick-fil-A and loves listening to music in his downtime. Driven by his passion for helping others, Shawn aspires to become a teacher someday, eager to make a positive impact in the lives of those around him.

Shawn really needs a pair of orthopedic sneakers for his Life Skills and Work Academy college classes. After everything he’s been through, his feet turn inward, which means his shoes wear out way too quickly. A good pair of orthopedic sneakers would give him the support he needs and help him feel more confident as he steps into this new chapter of his life. Plus, looking good at college is important to him, and these shoes would definitely help him do that!
