Kamalii Foster Family Agency

Marcelino is a former foster youth who has used his experiences to create a positive future. He balances school and a part-time job while focusing on building a stable life. A curious mind and a natural learner, Marcelino enjoys reading in his free time and often dives into books that expand his knowledge and perspective on the world. He finds joy in spending time with his girlfriend’s family, experiencing the support of a close-knit home. His kindness and maturity make a strong impression on those around him. With his work ethic and eagerness to learn, Marcelino has a promising future ahead.

Marcelino is requesting a Nike gift card to help support his physical and mental wellness journey. After struggling with self-confidence due to recent weight gain, he’s made the courageous decision to prioritize his health and begin a consistent workout routine. However, one of the barriers he faces is access to quality workout clothing that fits well and makes him feel confident and motivated. Receiving a Nike gift card would allow him to purchase durable, comfortable, and stylish athletic wear, helping him feel prepared and empowered as he takes on this new chapter. This request is split into two parts. This is wish 2 of 2.
