Foster Parent Association of Wilkes

Shawn is a wonderful young man who, despite struggling with the lasting effects of abuse and neglect, has a bright and caring spirit. With many special needs, he requires a high level of care and attention, but he thrives when he is part of a loving family. Shawn enjoys working on fixing things and finding satisfaction in hands-on activities. He has a fondness for Chick-fil-A and loves listening to music in his downtime. Driven by his passion for helping others, Shawn aspires to become a teacher someday, eager to make a positive impact in the lives of those around him.

Shawn is wishing for a pair of slip-on carbon toe work shoes because he has started his first job. He takes pride in working every Friday, even though he needs a job coach to assist him due to his disabilities. Sturdy shoes are essential for him to protect his feet, as a large part of his job involves moving items, and he needs to keep his feet safe. Once he graduates from school, he will be able to work more hours, and he is thrilled to be earning his own money now.
