NJ DCFS - Ocean County

Kevin has spent most of his life in foster care, moving from home to home and facing more loss than any child should. His father has been in and out of his life, and he recently suffered the heartbreaking loss of his mother to an overdose. He has also lost contact with his siblings, yet he continues to push forward. Through his program and services, he is beginning to find motivation, work hard, and focus on his goals. His strength, perseverance, and determination to keep going despite his challenges make him truly remarkable

Mike has faced many challenges, including the loss of his mother and a lack of contact with his siblings. Despite these hardships, he is determined to make positive changes in his life and succeed in school. A pair of stylish and comfortable Nike sneakers would mean the world to him, lifting his spirits, and providing not only a boost of confidence while participating in everyday activities but also helping him feel more like himself as he navigates his journey toward a brighter future.
