Samantha, 18 years old, CA | 32 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Samantha is going through a really tough time right now as she navigates the foster care system, but she doesn't let that stop her. She works hard every day to stay focused in school and keep up with her classes. In her free time, Samantha loves reading books and spending time around animals. Being near animals brings her comfort and joy. Because she cares so much about them, she wants to become a vet so she can help care for animals that need a little extra love and support.

Samantha is working hard in school and chasing her dream of becoming a vet, but bouncing around the foster care system has left her without the basics, including a reliable pair of shoes. Right now, her current shoes are worn out and don't fit right, which makes walking to school and staying active tough. A brand-new pair of shoes will give her the comfort she deserves, ease her daily worries, and let her walk into class with confidence so she can focus on her future.
