A new pair of shoes for Jordan to help him express himself

Posted Sep 17, 2021
Jordan has been in foster care for the past 4 years, this is his second time in foster care after his last adoption was dissolved. Jordan is doing well in his new placement but has requested new shoes to wear at school. Like most teens, clothing is a big part of Jordan's self expression. Jordan would really love to be able to pick out some new shoes for school. This has been a difficult time for him and having some new shoes of his own would make a BIG difference.

Jordan is 18 years old and lives in VA

Jordan would choose to be outside instead of watching TV or playing video games any day of the week. He is fascinated by bugs and animals. He loves to ride bikes, throw football, and even mow the grass! Jordan enjoys being at school and does well with his behavior at school. Jordan enjoys being part of church youth group. He is good at using his learned coping skills when presented with a potentially difficult situation. Jordan's favorite foods are chicken tenders, pudding cups, and pizza. He does not enjoy eating vegetables.
