Therapeutic Interagency ProgramMarQuan was severely neglected in his early childhood and went without much of the emotional and physical care that a young child needs. He was removed from his home after police became involved and discovered that he and his brother were living there with their mother when she was arrested. He is now in the care of a family friend, who is working hard to make sure that he and his brother have what they need. She is also giving them room to practice trusting and bonding with the people around them. MarQuan is learning, step by step, what it feels like to be safe and cared for.
MarQuan was removed from his mother’s care after an early childhood of neglect, and he now lives with a family friend alongside his brother. His caregiver is committed to ensuring the children in her home are well cared for, and she wants each of them to feel safe and learn to bond with the people around them. Caring for three young children takes a lot of supplies, and gathering everything they need has been hard for her. With the fall and winter seasons here, MarQuan needs new clothes to keep him warm and comfortable. A set of cozy clothes would let him play outside and settle into his new home without the chill. It would also take one worry off a caregiver who is working so hard to give him a safe and caring place to grow.
