Raymond is a resident at a residential facility, where he has developed a deep appreciation for nature and the great outdoors. As an avid hiker, he spends much of his free time exploring the beautiful landscapes that Maine has to offer. However, he has recently outgrown the boots he wore last winter, which has prompted him to seek a new pair that can withstand the harsh elements of Maine's long, snowy winter. With the cold weather and snow quickly approaching, Raymond is eager to have the proper footwear to ensure he can continue his adventures in the wilderness. He hopes to acquire these new boots soon, as he is enthusiastic about getting outside and enjoying the trails before the snow arrives.
