Basketball sneakers for Donelle to wear to school this fall

Posted Aug 1, 2024
Donelle will be a senior when he returns to school this year. He will also be on the varsity basketball team. Donelle practiced hard all summer to make the team, and he's very proud of himself because he had to bring his grades up in order to make it. He wants a new pair of shoes for school, and he has asked for new sneakers specifically for basketball.

Donelle is 18 years old and lives in VA

Donnelle is a wonderful young man who has been placed in foster care without his sibling. He was very upset that he had to be separated from his sibling but he eventually understood it was for the best. Donnelle has not allowed his placement in foster care stop his dream of going into the military and becoming a pilot once he graduates. He has been in ROTC since the 9th grade and is very focused on his goals. Donnelle is working through the trauma he suffered before coming into foster care. He likes the stability he has had since being placed in foster care but he misses his family.
