New sneakers for NiJay who wants to look awesome on his first day at his new school

Posted Jul 24, 2018
NiJay and his caregiver walk miles each day to get to and from bus stops because they do not have a vehicle. With walking so much his current pair of sneakers are so worn out they have started to hurt NiJay. With school starting very soon and walking to and from the bus stops NiJay could really use a nice new pair of sneakers that are comfortable and stylish. He would love to be able to go to the store to find out what size would be the best for him to wear.

NiJay is 18 years old and lives in NC

NiJay dreams of becoming an engineer one day. He loves building with Lego's, he even built a moving light rail out of Lego's. He also enjoys learning all about the different subways and light rails in major US cities and can even tell you how much they cost per mile for upkeep; New York City is his favorite to learn about. NiJay is very caring and enjoys being active and playing sports. He loves school and his favorite subjects are reading and math.
