Replacement shoes for Jon whose current sneakers hurt his feet

Posted Mar 21, 2025
Jon needs new shoes because his current ones hurt his feet. He chose a pair that he likes the look of and believes it’s important for them to be somewhat stylish, as the other kids often tease him. He is in desperate need of shoes and will be so happy when these show up for him.

Jon is 14 years old and lives in SD

Jon is a shy individual who enjoys spending time alone. Recently, he was placed in a foster home with many other children. Jon is learning how to navigate interactions with his peers. He has a low IQ and has suffered a traumatic brain injury, which makes communication challenging for him. Jon has a strong passion for electronics and loves playing video games. This activity helps him relax and unwind. He is also becoming more self-aware and has a number of medical and therapeutic appointments scheduled each week. Despite his challenges, Jon is very affectionate and desires to be liked by others. He also enjoys helping with chores and assisting younger children.
