New Furniture for Tamaine who has moved out of supportive housing into his own place
Posted Jun 29, 2021
Tamaine has found his dream apartment, and it is his first home since since leaving supportive housing. While this is a huge, exciting move for Tamaine, he was not able to take any of the donated furniture with him.
Tamaine is a lung cancer survivor, and he cannot expose himself to harmful chemicals that are known to cause cancer. Many of the couches and furniture he looked at had Proposition 65 warnings from California because it was constructed with products known to cause cancer. Receiving this specially made furniture will make him feel safe and healthy and he can't wait to make his first apartment into a comfortable home.
Tamaine is 30 years old and lives in NY
Tamaine is a former foster youth from NYC. He is an amazing young man who beat the odds numerous times throughout his life. In his teen years he was involved with the juvenile justice system, but turned his life around and now mentors other young men in a similar situations. He also beat lung cancer, losing a partial lung but strengthening his will and purpose to inspire others. Tamaine impresses everyone who meets him; despite (and because of) his experiences, he is full of love and inspiration, and is committed to spending his life advocating for others.

"Thank you OSW! You do so much for our youth each and every day, and our youth - and my staff - are SO thankful to have you. Thank you for helping Tamaine get the furniture he envisioned for his apartment. He has been so excited setting everything up, and none of it would have happened with you all! He was so down when he first moved in, but his whole mood has lifted since receiving his big (and 'littler') wishes from you "
