A cool pair of sneakers for Joel to wear to the school dance

Posted Jan 23, 2025
Joel is excited about the upcoming Valentine's Day dance at his school and has his heart set on getting a new pair of sneakers. His current sneakers are outdated and dirty, with shoelaces that constantly flop on the ground, which doesn’t quite match the outfit he plans to wear to the dance. A fresh pair of sneakers would not only enhance his look but also give him the confidence to enjoy the event to the fullest.

Joel is 8 years old and lives in NJ

Joel is an enthusiastic basketball player who loves spending his free time on the court. He has two younger siblings that he enjoys playing with, as well as a playful dog named Spike. In addition to basketball, Joel likes playing video games with his friends and making the most of his leisure time. Despite facing financial challenges, as his family is low income and receiving support from the Trenton Housing Authority, they maintain a close-knit bond, finding joy in the simple pleasures of life.
