Dequavious, 14 years old, IL

Dequavious has been navigating life in foster care for about four years now. Through it all, he's grown into a quiet, thoughtful, and genuinely smart teenage boy. Football is where Dequavious really comes alive. He's passionate about the game and takes staying active seriously, using sports as an outlet to build discipline, confidence, and a sense of team and belonging that can sometimes feel hard to come by in foster care. Whether he's on the field or just staying in shape, that drive and focus carry over into the rest of his life too.
