A pair of comfortable shoes for Velma who just landed an outdoor job with the city where she will be on her feet all day
Velma, 26 years old, NY
Wish submitted by:
City Living NYVelma is a bright young adult who aged out of foster care and initially ended up living in a shelter. However, she has finally secured her own apartment and is thrilled to have her own space. Velma is a talented cook and enjoys working in the culinary field. She dreams of advancing her career in the culinary industry and hopes to open her own business one day.
Velma is a hard-working young woman with lived experience in foster care, and she was recently hired for outdoor work with the city. She will be on her feet for most of the day, so she needs comfortable shoes she can count on. She has her eye on a pair of Crocs recovery shoes, with a cushioned, supportive sole that eases pressure on her feet and a slip-resistant, easy-to-clean design for long days outside. Until her first paycheck arrives, she cannot afford them. A pair would help her start her new job comfortable, steady, and ready to do her best.

"Hi Velma, I hope these shoes make your life a little easier! My husband, who wears a size 14, has a pair of Crocs he's had for years, which is unheard of for him---he's hard on shoes! Good luck on your new job and hugs from this internet stranger! :-)"
