Tristen, 18 years old, MO | 7 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Tristen is a bright young man currently living in foster care for the second time. He is preparing to attend Job Corps with the hopes of studying carpentry so he can start his own company one day. Tristen is a hard worker and makes good grades in school. He enjoys playing sports, especially basketball, and likes to relax by listening to music. In addition to starting his own business, his other goals include graduating from high school and obtaining his driver's license.

Since starting the Job Corps program, Tristen has discovered just how much walking his new routine requires, trekking across campus from class to class, day after day. Right now, he really needs a pair of sneakers built for that kind of movement, something comfortable, supportive, and durable enough to hold up to the daily wear. Without the right shoes, all that walking starts to take a real toll, making it harder for Tristen to stay focused and comfortable throughout his day. A solid pair of sneakers would give him the support he needs to keep up with his new schedule without his feet paying the price.
