Sneakers for Jeremiah to keep up with his friends at recess

Posted Aug 14, 2024
Jeremiah is starting kindergarten at the end of August and he needs new shoes. He underwent surgery earlier this year to remove some bone tumors, and for the first time in a long while, he is able to fully bend his knees to play and run. He's a bit nervous about meeting new friends, but having new shoes to play in would help ease his feelings. It's important for him to try on his shoes, as he still has a few tumors that won't be removed, and we need to ensure that the sneakers will be comfortable for him. This wish will give him the opportunity to try on shoes and choose the pair that feels best for him.

Jeremiah is 5 years old and lives in PA

Jeremiah is overall a healthy child who lived with his mother until Spring 2023 when she became homeless. Since then, he has been able to stay with relatives, and his mother hopes to bring him home soon. Jeremiah lives with a hereditary disease, causing him to need multiple doctor's appointments and surgeries. He struggles with the impact this has on his ability to be a little boy, and he worries about his mother but loves the family he is with and appreciates the stability he has with them. Jeremiah's extended family is very protective and cares for him deeply.
