MO DSS Children's Division - St. Francois County

Ashton is navigating foster care for the second time in his life. Although he tends to be quiet and likes to keep a low profile, he really comes alive when he's playing sports. Whether it's soccer, basketball, or any game, he has a natural talent and spends most of his time practicing. Soccer is his absolute favorite! Although school isn't his top choice, he still manages to pull good grades, and he loves science—mainly because his teacher always knows how to crack a joke. Ashton’s favorite color is black, and when it comes to food, nothing beats a hearty plate of lasagna.

Ashton needs clothing that fits as the weather cools down. He'd love a hoodie with the Ariat brand on it to wear to school. He says it's what the cool kids wear, and he just wants to fit in with everyone else. A hoodie like this would help him feel more comfortable and confident among his peers.
