The Lost & Found Institute

Armon is a determined senior in high school living in a foster home. Despite his challenges, he remains strong and inspires those around him. School is a safe place for him where he builds friendships and finds joy. As graduation nears, Armon is focused on creating a future for himself while holding on to things that keep him balanced. Volleyball is one of Armon’s biggest passions. Whether playing on a team or with friends, it gives him energy and a sense of teamwork. He also loves spending time by the coast, where the ocean air makes him feel free and calm. Fishing is another favorite activity; it teaches him patience and allows him to relax while thinking and dreaming. For Armon, these activities bring him joy and a sense of belonging, helping him heal during tough times.

This year, for his birthday, Armon has a special wish: he really wants a pair of Jordans. As a high school senior living in foster care, he’s faced many challenges, but he keeps moving forward with hope and determination. He loves volleyball and fishing, but like any teenager, he’s also into fashion and trends. For Armon, getting a pair of Jordans isn’t just about new shoes; it’s about feeling confident and like he belongs, especially on a day meant to celebrate him. Turning another year older is a big deal, especially as he gets ready to graduate and step into adulthood. A pair of Jordans would show him that he is noticed and celebrated, reminding him that he deserves happiness. It would help him walk into this new chapter of his life with pride, knowing that his community supports him. For Armon, this birthday wish is about more than just sneakers; it’s about carrying a bit of hope and confidence with him wherever he goes.
