A new pair of cleats for Dan, who plays football for his school

Posted Sep 21, 2017
Dan recently began playing football at his school, and is enjoying it very much. Dan has complained that his feet hurt, and that his cleats are a bit snug. Dan would love a new fresh pair of cleats that fit just right, to keep him play his best on the field.

Daniel is 24 years old and lives in RI

Dan is a funny, kind, and athletic young man who has recently entered into foster care after spending a year in juvenile detention. Dan was happy to move into foster care, and has done an exceptional job of proving that he is not just defined by his past behavior. Dan is well-liked within his community, and fulfilled one of his lifetime ambitions of playing on the high school football team. He even made the play that gave his team their first win!! Dan loves football, and enjoys seeing his foster parents and birth parents in the stands, cheering him on. His self-esteem has vastly improved through being on a team, and having the support of his school, foster care, and biological family.
