A Tent for Shawn who wants to camp in his backyard during warm weather

Posted Jul 16, 2022
Shawn wishes for an easy to pitch tent that he can manage by himself. He wants to camp in his backyard during warm weather, have a special place all of his own, and just somewhere he can hang outside and play. This will allow him to have an awesome summer and enjoy the great outdoors, even if it’s just in his backyard! This will allow Shawn to feel he has a little freedom, fun, and responsibility of his own.

Shawn is 18 years old and lives in NC

Shawn is a wonderful young man who, despite struggling with the lasting effects of abuse and neglect, has a bright and caring spirit. With many special needs, he requires a high level of care and attention, but he thrives when he is part of a loving family. Shawn enjoys working on fixing things and finding satisfaction in hands-on activities. He has a fondness for Chick-fil-A and loves listening to music in his downtime. Driven by his passion for helping others, Shawn aspires to become a teacher someday, eager to make a positive impact in the lives of those around him.
