New shoes for Aaron to give him confidence as he starts a new school

Posted Jul 12, 2017
Aaron will be starting a new elementary school and would love a new pair of shoes to help him feel confident. He loves the Nike brand and loves the Chicago Bulls (in part because he idolizes his brother, who loves the Bulls). With some fancy new shoes, he would be sure to start the school year with a BIG smile on his face!

Aaron is 16 years old and lives in IN

Aaron has been in foster care for 2 years and struggles to understand when he can go back home. Luckily, he was able to remain with his 3 siblings and is very close to his older brother. He is charming and likes to talk a lot. He has a very active imagination and loves to make people smile.
