Children's Institute

Deity is a young person trying to balance the ups and downs of life while also craving some quiet time away from his busy home with his siblings. He loves playing basketball, skateboarding, and listening to music, which really helps him express his feelings. After experiencing some tough times in foster care because of his mom's struggles with addiction and domestic issues, he's now back with her and his siblings, and they're all getting used to being together again. His mom is focused on staying sober, but the family is still facing some money challenges. To help him cope with everything, Deity is getting therapy and support from CII. He's determined to do well, and his love for sports and music keeps him feeling positive as he works toward a brighter future.

Deity's birthday is just around the corner, and he's got his heart set on a PlayStation 5! It would be thrilling to unwrap such an awesome gift! Right now, he doesn't have any gaming systems, and it can feel a bit isolating, especially when friends are chatting about their latest adventures. Getting a PS5 would be a total game-changer for him—it would not only bring so much joy and excitement but also improve his mood and help him feel connected! It’d open up a world of fun possibilities, letting him bond with friends and family through gaming. What a wonderful way to lift his spirits and make him feel truly special on his big day!
