A pair of basketball shoes for Marchellos who will be attending camp in June

Posted Apr 15, 2024
Marchellos is an excellent basketball player. Amazingly, he was recently picked in a lottery to attend a basketball camp for a month in another state. Marchellos is super excited to be going. He has been wanting new shoes and has been saving his allowance. He has an upcoming birthday and these basketball shoes would make him so happy! He can't wait to wear these shoes to camp!

Marchellos is 16 years old and lives in VA

Marchellos is a very smart and funny young man. He loves to play basketball, and he loves math. Marchellos was placed in foster care without his two younger siblings, and that has caused him some issues while in care. Marchellos didn't understand why he couldn't be with his two younger brothers. He has now finally settled down. He was behind in school, but Marchellos has worked so hard to bring his grades up these last two semesters. He wants to join the Air Force upon graduation and learn how to fly planes. Marchellos has not allowed his placement in foster care to stop his goal of one day flying commercial planes.

"This is from my dad, Charlie. He taught me to love basketball when I was a kid. Since he died, I always think about him during March Madness and whenever I'm playing the game. He would be proud to give this gift. I hope you have a great time a basketball camp, and I am proud of you for relentlessly chasing your dreams."
