Nike running shoes for Lucas who made the track team

Posted Nov 23, 2023
Lucas has been having a lot of behavior issues stemming from past trauma. He wanted to try out for the track team but the coach had a talk with him letting him know that he has to train hard but even harder on his behaviors. And he did it! He has learned new ways to control his emotions AND he made the track team! He would love to have this pair of Nike running shoes for track. It would be great if he were rewarded for all his hard work!

Lucas is 15 years old and lives in KY

Lucas went to live with his grandparents when he was just 5 years old. He was never able to just be a kid and when he went to live with his grandparents, he had to learn that it was ok to let go of the care of his siblings and just be a kid! He now loves sports and doing anything outside. When he first went to their home he didn't know how to give a hug, now he gives the best hugs ever. He is such a caring young man and truly cares about others.
