James is currently living in an emergency shelter. James' mom is incarcerated and he does not know his father. While in the care of his aunt, his younger sisters were abused and therefore the children were removed and have all been separated. James is very shy and because of his past, has trouble trusting others. However, he loves basketball and that seems to be the outlet he turns to when he is stressed or needs to unwind. It's the only time we see him laughing with others, and making friends and we really want to encourage basketball. James hopes that by being a good basketball player, he can someday get a scholarship and go to college.
