Partnership for Families, Children and Adults

Malachi is a motivated and intelligent young man who is seeking to better his life as he transitions to adulthood. He is a former foster youth and has been met with many challenges along the way. He has been transparent about past mistakes and changes he has made to overcome them. Malachi is seeking to obtain his cosmetology and barber licenses, which is something he loves and wants to explore and perfect.

Malachi has recently started living independently after spending time in a residential facility for youth in foster care. In that setting, he often felt restricted, unable to make many purchases and limited in how he could express himself. One thing he really wants is a pair of BAPE sneakers that reflect his style. For Malachi, expressing himself through his clothing is important, and he is excited about the opportunity to explore this aspect of his identity further.
