A pair of Vans for Aaron who has worn through his current pair

Posted Sep 15, 2024
Aaron doesn't drive, so he relies on walking to and from work and errands. He loves the support, feel, and look of Vans. His current pair is 3 years old and his feet are starting to feel the wear and tear. He would love a new pair so his feet can take the day to day work Aaron needs them to do!

Aaron is 21 years old and lives in ME

Aaron is an amazing young man full of creative ability. He has been in foster care since he was 5 years old and knows all too well the feelings of grief and loss that come with living in care. The creative and performing arts have been his sanctuary throughout his young life. He loves to write, draw, sing, and act. He went to New York on a school field trip a few years ago and fell in love with the lights, sounds, and bustle of the city...especially Broadway! He would love to make a career out of his passions as nothing makes him happier than sharing his craft with others.

The Wish Story

Wendy's Wonderful Kids requests this wish for Aaron.

One Simple Wish posts the wish to the website.

WENDY grants the wish for Aaron! Thanks WENDY.

"Take a hop, skip and jump for me in your vans, Aaron. My boys, now 35 and 32 used to wear Vans. (did I just make them uncool?) So glad you can wear these type of shoes at your job. in the "old" days, dress shoes were required, even for mundane jobs. Now accountants, VPs wear sneakers/tennis shoes/kicks. OR whatever they are called now. I don't know how old you are so I hope I haven't embarrassed you so that you won't wear them! Best Wishes for the Future! Nana"
