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 more independently after spending time in a residential facility for youth in foster care. In that setting, he felt restricted in his ability to make purchases and express himself. Now, he has identified a clothing style that he really likes and is eager to explore. For Malachi, having these clothing items is a way to express himself, and he looks forward to embracing his personal style.
