A pair of Vans for Joshua who wants to be a fireman when he grows up!

Posted Nov 12, 2017
Joshua would like a pair of Vans for Christmas, he sees the bigger boys wearing them and he wants to be just like them. With a little help he found a pair he was quite fond of online they are black slip-ons with flames on both sides! Doesn’t get much cooler than that!!

Joshua is a nice young man who has resided at his current group home for about 6 weeks. Joshua is in the 1st grade his favorite thing about school this year he says is all the new friends he has made, he loves to go to recess and play kickball with his friends.
