New Clothes for Jorel who is being bullied

Posted Apr 18, 2022
Jorel and his sister are struggling to fit in with their American peers. Jorel told his caseworker that he is being bullied at school regarding his clothing and overall cultural differences; such as he is not used to wearing socks and shoes so he’s been wearing shoes with no socks. They also make fun of him because all of his clothes are used, donated clothes. His parents are employed and are making ends meet; however, feel bad for their son and cannot afford a whole new wardrobe at this time. Jorel desperately wants to fit in and learn how to be “American.”

Jorel is 13 years old and lives in NJ

Jorel and his family immigrated to the US from Haiti. Jorel is struggling to learn English and to adapt to the US culture. He misses his friends and family back home but is trying to find friends and learn what they do for fun here. Jorel enjoys family time, drawing and loves his mother’s cooking.
