A pair of soccer cleats for Ezra who loves the game so much

Posted Feb 26, 2024
Ezra was a star on his school soccer team last fall, which was exciting because he was never in school consistently enough before to play on a team. This spring, he is honing his skills on a recreational team. Now that his feet are no longer growing, he would love high-quality soccer cleats like the other kids on his team wear, but he knows they are too expensive for his foster family to buy. He is hoping to get these amazing shoes for his birthday, which is coming up soon!

Ezra is 16 years old and lives in NC

Ezra and his brother are both at the same foster home, where they enjoy playing outside with their three foster siblings and other neighborhood kids. Ezra is somewhat shy and reserved, but those who get to know him quickly discover that he is caring, creative and smart. He is a people pleaser who likes to do things to make others happy, like surprising his foster mom by making dinner. He enjoys drawing and playing video games. He is super excited about going to high school next year! He had to miss a lot of school last year because of his home situation, but once he came into foster care, he worked really hard to bring his grades up and he is proud of that.
