A heartfelt request for a cool pair of sneakers for Lee Lee

Posted Aug 23, 2024
Lee Lee tragically lost many of her cherished personal items in a flood. These possessions were stored away while she resided in a resource home, unable to bring all her belongings with her. The news that her items had to be discarded due to water damage and mold left her devastated. Among the lost items was a special pair of sneakers she received as a Christmas gift last year, which she had only worn once. Lee stumbled upon a similar pair of sneakers that captured her heart, and she longs to have a replacement. This desire stems not only from the wish to expand her daily footwear beyond work sneakers but also to possess a quality pair that will endure for years to come. If granted, Lee vows to cherish these sneakers always.

Lee Lee is 19 years old and lives in NJ
