A Basketball Hoop for Dustin to give him something to work out some anxiety

Posted Sep 13, 2021
Dustin has a lot of anxiety and anger from being removed from his mother and tries to stay really busy with heavy activity. This basketball goal would give him an outlet to get some of his emotions out and get good exercise for his body and mind.

Dustin is 16 years old and lives in AL

Dustin is having a hard time adjusting to being removed from his home with his 3 siblings and sent to live with his aunt and uncle. He loves to be outside and will look for something to do so he can stay out and not be bored or have to be cooped up inside. He enjoys throwing a football with his uncle and helping him around the yard and fixing things up on their house. Dustin is still trying to decide if he wants to be a plumber, an electrician or a carpenter. He knows he wants to work with his hands and fix things. The family has a dog that Dustin had really bonded with and is calmer when the dog is by his side.
