Trip to Shoprite for Juan who is waiting for his work permit.

Posted Oct 4, 2017
Juan lives in an apartment for foster youth and does not always have enough for essentials like food, etc. Other youth work to make sure they can afford everything they need, but Juan is waiting for his immigration status to go through. Until then, this will help him afford healthy meals in the meantime.

Juan is 24 years old and lives in PA

Juan came to the United States to escape gang violence. He is now safely with a wonderful foster family and is graduating next year from high school. He misses his brothers and sisters who are still in Latin America.
