NJ DCFS - Burlington County

Marcus is a bright and imaginative kid who loves diving into the world of video games. He's currently navigating a tough situation, as his mom has relapsed after a long period of sobriety and is now seeking treatment in another state. This has led to his involvement with the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency, with his dad stepping up as his sole caretaker. Despite these challenges, Marcus remains close to his family and cherishes his alone time, using it as a way to unwind and explore new adventures in his favorite games.

Marcus, who has autism, really treasures his alone time in his room. It’s his personal haven where he can relax and indulge in one of his favorite activities: gaming. That’s why a gift card for V-Bucks would mean so much to him. It would not only help him advance in the game he loves but also enhance his overall experience, allowing him to dive deeper into a world that brings him joy.
