New Clothes for Derrick who has had to quickly start at a new school

Posted Mar 30, 2022
Derrick came into care with the absolute bare minimum. He has very few clothes, and only one pair of shoes that are worn out and too small. Derrick had to quickly start over at a new school, and he is in desperate need of new clothes and shoes. He is already having a hard time making friends, and he is embarrassed by his wardrobe. Having new clothes will really help Derrick feel more positive, and give him a nice confidence boost in his new school.

Derrick is 8 years old and lives in TX

Derrick is an amazing young man who is having a hard time adjusting to going into foster care. Derrick has remained hopeful, and is trying to stay focused. He is very quiet and does not talk to many people, and it takes him a very long time to relax and speak to people. Derrick is having a hard time finding friends, but is trying his best to reach out and make connections.
