Basketball Shoes for Matthew to help him enjoy PE

Posted Jan 29, 2020
Matthew wishes for a pair of Basketball Shoes to help him enjoy PE. The gym floor is too slick for normal shoes and Matthew needs shoes that will grip the floor to keep him from sliding and falling too much. PE is his favorite time of the day and it has been tough for him to even participate and play. Matthew really wants to get back to his active self full of running, jumping, and moving!

Matthew is 19 years old and lives in NC

Matthew is learning to trust and be in social settings, he has come along way and has turned into a social bug. He loves being outside and having space to run and play in by himself. Matthew loves camping, hiking, biking, swimming, and all things outside. He enjoys wildlife and other animals. His favorite color is green. He really likes to change clothes a lot and look nice.
