A stylish winter coat for Uyi to stay warm and look good

Posted Nov 17, 2021
In New York it is quickly getting colder and colder. As we approach winter, Uyi finds himself in need of a winter coat. It is so hard to find his size in stores because he wears "big and tall", which leaves him with limited in- store options. Please help Uyi purchase a winter coat so he can stay warm this winter.

Uyi is 25 years old and lives in NY

Uyi left foster care around 2014/15, being discharged to family via a kinship placement. Unfortunately, this did not go well and by 2017 Uyi was residing in a homeless shelter. He remained there for about a year before moving to Binghamton to attend college. Uyi is not currently still in school due to his lack of a strong support system, but was linked to our agency in the hopes of locating housing back in NYC where our nonprofit, and others, can better assist him on his path to success.
