A pair of shoes for Holden to feel connected to his mom

Posted Aug 19, 2024
Holden only wants the same pair of shoes that his mother last purchased for him. He keeps the original shoes that she purchased for him, even though they do not fit him anymore. These shoes are sentimental to Holden and the bond he once shared with his mother.

Holden is 15 years old and lives in IN

Holden is currently placed with relatives and sadly does not have any visits with his mom, which has led to some heartbreak. Holden is a creative, friendly teen who excels on his bowling and archery teams. He enjoys playing video games when he is not busy with his extracurricular activities to wind down and relieve stress.
