Arcadia University- H.O.M.E. Program

Jamerika is a vibrant and outgoing individual who never fails to bring a smile to everyone’s face. They were raised by their grandmother, who instilled in them the belief that every puzzle may have a missing piece, but there is always something out there that can fit. Although their childhood was different from that of many other kids, and they often faced bullying due to their unique family dynamic, their grandmother consistently reassured them of their belonging and worth. Jamerika enjoys reading both romance and zombie novels, taking long nature walks, creating art, and exploring photography and videography. Documenting life and capturing moments is especially meaningful to them, as they don’t have many keepsakes from their childhood. Additionally, they have a deep love for music and a passion for advocating for the causes they believe in.

Jamerika has been wanting a new pair of sneakers for a long time. Currently, they don’t have any comfortable walking shoes, which is impacting their ability to stay physically active. Having a pair that doesn’t hurt their feet would mean a great deal to them. Well-fitting sneakers would help Jamerika feel more comfortable and confident during their walks.
