New Sneakers for Derrick who loves to be fashionable

Posted Nov 6, 2020
Derrick loves to always look his best, as most teenagers do. He's had to move around a lot in the last few months and some of his things have gone missing along the way. He would love to pick out a new pair of sneakers for the holidays to replace the ones he lost. This would be an awesome self-esteem boost for Derrick who feels his best when he is proud of his look!

Derrick is 20 years old and lives in NJ

Derrick is a very smart and outgoing young man who loves to do outdoor activities and spend time with family. He has been in foster care since 2014. When he first entered he had severe behavioral problems including poor boundaries, limited social skills, defiant behaviors, lack of respect for authority figures and lack motivation to make progress. Since then, Derrick has made significant improvements. He went from failing all subjects in school to being on honor roll. He participates in therapy and shows motivation to make positive choices in his life. One day he would like to become a judge so that he can help other children in foster care be heard. His current hobbies are shopping, traveling and helping out outside.
