New Shoes for Uyi to wear this summer
Posted May 6, 2022
Uyi is currently preparing for the summer months and is in desperate need of new clothes and shoes. He is currently unable to work and is trying hard to manage his bills with the small income he receives in public assistance. This leaves little to no room for personal necessities. Please help Uyi buy himself a new pair of comfortable summer shoes.
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.
