New Shoes for Mark who is getting fit and playing sports

Posted Oct 14, 2019
Mark has been working on his health and fitness this past year. He is now able to bend down and tie his shoe laces, and is very excited about having shoes that would require him to do so. He’s also excited to show off his fancy shoes when he plays ball. He loves Adidas and would love to pick out his favorite pair!

Mark is 17 years old and lives in NC

Mark is a sweet, affectionate young man, who is working on his behavioral issues. He’s learning coping skills, figuring out effective communication methods, and is thriving! Mark is figuring out how to be independent- he can cook a few dishes, he cleans up after himself and helps out around the home, he’s definitely someone the foster parent trusts to take care of things. He’s hilarious, loves watching movies, and playing video games! He is excited about starting the adult chapter of his life.
