Deshawn, 9 years old, OH | 10 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Deshawn lives with relatives alongside his siblings because their father is absent. Despite the challenges and changes in his family circumstances, Deshawn continues to grow and adjust with the support of those caring for him. Having his brother and sister by his side provides an important connection as they navigate life together. Like any young boy, Deshawn deserves opportunities to have fun, explore new experiences, and enjoy the excitement of childhood. Family changes can sometimes affect a child's sense of stability and emotional well-being, making positive experiences and strong family connections especially meaningful.

Deshawn is discovering his personal style, and with cooler weather on the way, he is excited to put together a fall wardrobe that feels like him. He would love to choose fashionable tops, jeans, sweaters, and comfortable pieces he can wear to school and to family activities. A Marshalls shopping trip would let him choose each outfit himself, giving him a sense of independence and a positive way to express who he is. Walking into the season in clothes he chose can help him feel stylish, comfortable, and confident.
