A basketball hoop for Michael who is an all star athlete!

Posted Aug 15, 2017
Michael recently had to move foster homes due to very sad circumstances after his foster mom suddenly died. Michael is an all star athlete and a straight A student and his new foster mom is hoping she can provide him with a basketball hoop in their yard so he can practice often and have fun and get his mind off of things.

Michael is 23 years old and lives in OR

Michael is a sophomore and is an all-star athlete and student. Michael just got all A's for this last semester and he plays Football, Basketball and Baseball year round. Michael is a very sweet young man who puts his family first. Michael recently lost his foster mother to heart failure and has had to take on a lot of responsibility in his home and grow up a little faster so that he can help care for his siblings and dad. He is hopeful to finish school and go to University of Oregon and become a Duck!
