A new pair of back to school sneakers for Mario who can't wait to go back to school!!!

Posted Sep 4, 2017
Mario would like a pair of shoes for his wish. He found a pair online that he absolutely LOVES. Some of the other boys in his cottage wear them and he thinks they are cool. He’s at that age where he has to be perfect before walking out the door so a nice looking pair of shoes would be an awesome addition to his back to school wardrobe.

Mario is 20 years old and lives in CA

Mario is a 12-year-old young man who has resided at his current group home for about 15 months; he is in the 7th grade. His favorite subjects in school this year are science and P.E. his favorite sport is football. He does a wonderful job of being the big brother. All three of them should be going home soon and that makes them very happy!!
