Kamalii Foster Family Agency

Christian has experienced frequent moves, new schools, unfamiliar bedrooms, and the emotional weight of growing up in foster care. Over the course of his childhood and teenage years, Christian lived in over five foster homes across several cities, each one a new chapter marked by both hope and uncertainty. While facing these challenges, Christian has clung to education as a lifeline. He finds comfort in classrooms, library corners, and the consistency of learning. Teachers became mentors, and school became a source of identity and motivation.

Christian is a full-time college student majoring in Criminal Justice, with the goal of becoming a forensic psychologist. To cover his rent, tuition, food, and other necessities, he works hard, leaving him with little money for things like shoes and clothes. He is requesting a pair of Nike shoes to ease his financial burden and ensure he doesn't have to worry about affording footwear on his tight budget.
