Maria, 17 years old, TX | 10 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 10/02

Wish submitted by:

Maria is a bright and motivated young lady in foster care who will be doing extended care as she prepares for adulthood. She has built a strong bond with her foster family and truly loves spending time with them. Maria is fun, outgoing, and social, enjoying activities with friends and family while bringing energy and positivity wherever she goes. She is hardworking in school, takes her studies seriously, and is excited about the next chapter of her life—college. Maria is passionate about learning and determined to reach her goals, balancing her academic dedication with her love of sports, where she thrives on teamwork, challenge, and staying active. Her playful personality, strong work ethic, and enthusiasm for life make her a remarkable and inspiring young person.

Maria’s current boots are worn out after countless days of use, and she would love a new pair for her birthday. She enjoys shopping and would be excited to choose a style, color, and fit that reflects her personality. As a young person in foster care, having comfortable, durable footwear would help Maria feel prepared for school, appointments, family visits, and everyday activities. These boots would meet an important need while giving her the joy of making a choice that is uniquely her own and helping her feel confident, supported, and cared for.
