Story
Dawson County is working with an 11-year old youth who just entered foster care. He has not experienced three placements in a short period of time, and came from a place of little to no supervision or oversight, with substantial neglect. This kiddo stole another youth's Air Jordans as he was leaving the previous placement. We have since intercepted the shoes to return them to their rightful owner, but the team believes it would be gesture of goodwill and show this child that all he needs to do is reach out and ask, rather than to take. He has not had nice things, and being in foster care is a stigmatizing experience. We would love to be able to give this kid a pair of Nikes of his own, but do not have the ability to do so. The shoes were Nike Air Jordan Comfort Low. I can share more specifics about the shoes if someone is able to help make this middle schooler's shoe dreams come true!
