The Lost & Found Institute

Ron is a resilient young person who, along with his three siblings, entered foster care after their parents were incarcerated. Despite the challenges, Ron has become a protector and leader for his siblings, often prioritizing their needs. A natural athlete, Ron enjoys playing basketball and football, using sports as a way to clear his mind and manage stress. He also loves being outdoors, whether it’s running with his siblings or simply enjoying nature. Through his passion for sports, Ron not only faces his own challenges but also sets an example for his siblings, showing them the importance of self-care and supporting each other in tough times.

Ron shared that he’s in need of new Nike socks because his current pairs are getting worn out and full of holes. He wears them almost every day, and after constant use, they’ve lost their shape and softness. Having a few new pairs would really make a difference for him — not just for comfort, but also for keeping his feet dry and supported throughout the day. Ron mentioned that Nike socks are his favorite because they last longer and feel better, especially when he’s on his feet a lot. A fresh set of socks would be a simple but meaningful way to help him feel comfortable and cared for.
