A Footlocker Gift Card for Jorel to buy his first pair of American style sneakers
Posted Apr 21, 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. He is wearing a used pair of sneakers that are not even his size. His parents are employed and are making ends meet; however, feel bad for their son and cannot afford the cost of new sneakers at this time. Jorel desperately wants to fit in and learn how to be “American.” A gift card to Footlocker would allow Jorel to pick out a pair or two of sneakers for school.
