Hiking Boots for Shawn to have outdoor Fall adventures in

Posted Sep 8, 2020
Shawn wishes for a pair of rugged hiking boots to explore in this Fall. Almost daily Shawn has so much anxiety he paces back and forth. To help him efforts are made to turn this pacing into walking or swinging. A new pair of hiking boots will allow him to go walking through the woods this Fall to reduce his stress. He loves looking at nature and this helps him therapeutically.

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.
