Think of Us

Markale is a curious young man, but is non-verbal and with autism. He has been in placement with his brothers for the last few years and is starting to blossom. His foster mom is always making sure Markale is somewhere with care, love, and learning. Right now, he is attempting to talk and learning how to say his name. He still has a hard time communicating but Markale loves to draw and ride on bikes and scooters. Being outdoors while playing basketball or baseball brings him such joy, and (of course!!) he's always happy when cookies are nearby!

Because Markale is autistic, it helps to have shoes that are easy to put on and support his gait. Markale's foster mom has been trying to keep up with the amount of growth Markale has experienced this past year. Making sure Markale has supportive shoes to help with his unique walking style will also help his foster mom feel that he'll be safe at school and on the playground.
