A new pair of sneakers for Shawn

Posted Jun 23, 2017
Shawn has difficulty walking, and as a result, he wears through shoes faster than others may. His wish is for a new pair of red, FILA running shoes that he can be excited to wear!

Shawn is 18 years old and lives in NC

Shawn is a wonderful young man who struggles with the lasting effects of abuse and neglect. He has many special needs and requires a high level of care and attention. He likes being part of the family and likes working on fixing things. Shawn likes to eat Chick-fil-A and listen to music. Shawn loves helping people and wants to be a teacher someday.
