Kaseem, 14 years old, NJ

Kaseem is a courageous and strong young man. He was separated from his mom due to her substance-use challenges and placed in a resource home before the two were reunited through our supportive housing and reunification program. Despite these early hardships and not having a relationship with his dad, he continues to show incredible resilience, compassion, and a positive outlook on life. He loves football and uses the sport as a healthy outlet for stress and a source of motivation. As an only child, he is thoughtful and helpful at home, always supporting his mom through their current financial challenges. His strength, kindness, and determination make him a truly special young person who continues to inspire those around him.
