A new pair of shoes for Elizabeth who considers herself a "sneakerhead"

Posted Nov 28, 2022
Elizabeth takes pride in what she wears to school and has become quite a "sneakerhead" as she says herself. She has always wanted a pair of Jordan sneakers but has never been able to purchase a pair for herself. Many of her friends have them and Elizabeth would love a pair of her own. She does have lots of friends but of course, at this tween age, she desperately wants to fit in with the other kids at school. In fact, Elizabeth asked us to share with a possible donor that this would be a "wish of a lifetime for her".

Elizabeth is 13 years old and lives in CA

Elizabeth and her younger brother entered foster care most recently in fall 2021 after the death of their mother, but unfortunately, this wasn't their first time. Elizabeth is a tween who has been struggling over the past year since the death of her mother. She is quiet and reserved, loves art, and spending time with her brother. Most of her free time is spent watching videos on social media and she absolutely loves Tik Tok. Although Elizabeth is reserved, she does have lots of friends at school. Elizabeth is very close to her little brother and is having a very difficult time looking forward to Christmas since they are going to be separated.
