A Ping Pong paddle for Shawn who has made Honor Role this semester!

Posted Oct 16, 2017
Shawn worked extremely hard this school semester and made Honor Role! He say's it's the first time he has ever been on the Honor Role and he is so proud! He wishes for a Ping Pong paddle to get to take part in the special activity of playing ping pong at school. Each child must bring their own paddle and Shawn does not have one.

Shawn is 17 years old and lives in NC

Shawn is a wonderful young man who struggles with the lasting effects of abuse and neglect. He has many special needs and requires a high level of care and attention. He likes being part of the family and likes working on fixing things. Shawn likes to eat Chick-fil-A and listen to music. Shawn loves helping people and wants to be a teacher someday.
