VA DSS - Chesapeake City County

Nazyryah is an active little guy who was placed in foster care at birth. He was removed and placed in a loving home without his siblings. Nazyryah was exposed in utero which caused some delays him reaching his milestones. He loves to play with his favorite teddy bear and listening to music. He is trying to walk on his own but crawling is how he gets around for now. Nazryrah gets physical therapy which sometimes makes him very tired but that does not stop him from smiling and being a happy baby.

Nazyryah is very excited because he recently joined a local youth basketball team at his after-school program. He enjoys attending practices and has learned to dribble the basketball on his own. His coach suggested that he get a basketball hoop for home so he can practice daily. Nazyryah loves playing basketball, and through the sport, he is developing discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills, while also reducing stress and improving his academic performance.
