Martin, 11 years old, VA

Wish submitted by:

Martin has experienced significant trauma and instability from a very young age. During his early childhood, his father attempted to seriously harm him while his sister was also experiencing sexual abuse in the home. Those experiences left Martin and his sister facing circumstances no child should have to endure. Despite what he has been through, Martin continues to move forward and deserves opportunities to be a kid, feel supported, and build positive memories. He is connected with Prominent Chapters so he can receive encouragement, practical assistance, and experiences that help bring greater stability and hope into his life.

Martin needs warm, dependable socks for the colder months. This set of thick merino wool socks gives him several pairs to rotate through for school, outdoor activities, and everyday wear. The extra cushioning and warmth will help keep his feet comfortable during chilly East Coast days while giving him something practical that he can use again and again. After so much uncertainty in his life, having basic necessities that are truly his and that keep him warm and comfortable can provide a small but meaningful sense of security and care.
