A New Pair of Sneakers for Kelis who is riding her bike to college

Posted Nov 5, 2019
Kelis rides her bike 5 miles each way to school. As you can imagine this is very hard on her shoes. She would love to be able to pick out a nice new pair of comfortable sneakers to wear while riding her bike.

Kelis is 22 years old and lives in NJ

Kelis is a resilient teenage girl that was placed in our program just before Thanksgiving. Kelis made the hard decision to ask to live away from her family because she realized the environment was not healthy for her. Kelis has had a hard childhood and suffers from a traumatic brain injury. Kelis is able to keep her head up and look forward to the future. Kelis cares and worries very much for her siblings. She wants to go to college one day to be a doctor or a social worker because she wants to be able to help children.
