Trip to Dick's Sporting Goods for Mackenzie who loves to play basketball

Posted Oct 31, 2017
Mackenzie is doing really well in school this year and is going to play on the basketball team, as well. This is a great opportunity for Mackenzie to have structure and be able to stay out of the trouble she's been in the past. She will be needing the appropriate practice and game attire to play and a gift card to Dick's Sporting Goods would greatly help with that.

Mackenzie is 20 years old and lives in NJ

Mackenzie has been in and out of foster care for most of her life. She has struggled with adjusting to her ever-changing environment, and often feels caught between what is best for her and her siblings and what her parents want her to do. She is always looking out for her brother and sister, and feels protective over them. She has had her fair share of troubles, but is a true survivor.
