Children's Institute

Deity is a young person trying to balance the ups and downs of life while also craving some quiet time away from his busy home with his siblings. He loves playing basketball, skateboarding, and listening to music, which really helps him express his feelings. After experiencing some tough times in foster care because of his mom's struggles with addiction and domestic issues, he's now back with her and his siblings, and they're all getting used to being together again. His mom is focused on staying sober, but the family is still facing some money challenges. To help him cope with everything, Deity is getting therapy and support from CII. He's determined to do well, and his love for sports and music keeps him feeling positive as he works toward a brighter future.

Deity is a growing young man who would be thrilled to receive a new pair of shoes. Having shoes that fit comfortably will not only ease his daily life but also help him feel cared for and supported. This gift would boost his self-confidence, lift his holiday spirit, and provide a meaningful reminder that he is loved. It would also ease the financial burden on his mother, making a lasting difference for their family.
