Sneakers for Zaiden to be prepared for school

Posted Aug 25, 2024
Upon returning to his mother's care, Zaiden was not given all of his clothes and sneakers from the foster home. He returned to his mother's care with two small bags of clothing. The mother applied for public assistance but will not receive funds for assistance for 45 days while the application is being processed. Zaiden is in need of a pair of sneakers for school.

Zaiden is 8 years old and lives in NY

Zaiden is an awesome boy who has been in foster care since he was 8 months old. Last week, Zaiden finally received the wish of his life by being returned home to his mother. Foster care took a tough toll on Zaiden which affected his overall functioning. Being removed from his mother at 8 months old was one of the hardest moments for Zaiden and his mother who was a teenager at the time. His life has turned around and his mother has been committed to his health, education, and growth. Zaiden loves watching YouTube shorts and playing video games. He is very interactive and curious about the world around him, often asking questions about how buildings are built and why the school was invented. Zaiden enjoys playing outside and going to the movies with his family.
