BIRTHDAY WISH
A New Pair of Shoes for Lamont who loves sports
Posted Jul 2, 2021
Lamont loves sports, especially basketball. When asked what he would like for his birthday, he smiled and said a brand new pair of sneakers. He has never owned a new pair of shoes. He also asked if he could go to the store and personally picked one out. Something he has never done before either.
Lamont is 18 years old and lives in GA
Lamont is an amazing young man who was recently entered foster care. He misses his younger brother and sister, but is adjusting well. Lamont, is looking forward to returning to school in person and meeting new friends. He ended the school year on the honor role despite all that is going on in his personal life. Lamont loves basket ball and finds peace mentoring his younger foster brothers. His foster mom describes him as a 'breath of fresh air"
