Nicholas, 13 years old, NE | 8 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 10/16

Wish submitted by:

Nicholas is a quite reserved boy who lives with his aunt and younger brother. He enjoys spending time outdoors, playing soccer and basketball. Recently, he has developed an interest in boxing, and his aunt has been exploring options for a program for him. Nicholas also enjoys playing video games and is eager to join an e-sports team.

Nicholas has had a hard stretch lately, both at home with his aunt and at school. He is back with her now, and they're working on their relationship while Nicholas starts new therapy services. He missed celebrating his birthday at his aunt's house, and she wants to make it up to him. A new pair of Nike sneakers would give him a birthday he can enjoy with her, along with a reward for the progress he is making. Recognizing his effort could encourage him to keep moving in the right direction.
