Samuel, 14 years old, PA | 35 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Samuel is a humorous young man who loves to chat. He is always in a great mood and enjoys making others smile. Samuel is currently in a kinship placement with one of his siblings, and they have encouraged him to participate in extracurricular activities to keep him busy after school.

Sam is in residential care, where so many decisions in his daily life are made for him. A gift card to Old Navy would flip that, giving Sam the rare chance to choose his own clothing, in the styles and colors that actually feel like him. Something as simple as picking out his own shirt or shoes can mean more than it seems, offering Sam a genuine sense of independence, self-expression, and ownership over something that's entirely his call.
