An electric scooter for Pengyu to get around the city with his dad

Posted Aug 29, 2024
Pengyu and his father are from China but due to extremely unsafe conditions they were granted asylum here in the United States. They have been here for a few months but the language barrier and lack of services provided has made it difficult for them. Neither Pengyu or his father complain and were content to live in the woods than the situation back home. Unfortunately, they are not allowed to live in the woods here and Pengyu needs to be enrolled in school so the Division became involved. The Division is providing a motel until community agencies can provide emergency housing for them. Pengyu's birthday is next month and he wishes for a small electric scooter. He stated that he does not need anything else, he just would like an electric scooter to get around with his dad; who already has one. Pengyu wishes to work but until everything is settled, he cannot look for employment. Once he is able to go to school and get a job, the scooter will provide the transportation needed to get there. Pengyu currently has no other family and no friends here besides his dad. This would be the best birthday present ever for him!

John is 16 years old and lives in NJ

John and his father fled their country due to an unsafe environment and were granted asylum here in the United States. However, the language barrier and lack of provided services have been challenging, and they have experienced homelessness. John is a very intelligent young man who enjoys drawing, painting, and playing video games. He likes hanging out with his friends and playing mahjong, a game of skill. He also enjoys playing basketball and ping pong. Additionally, he likes riding his new electric scooter, which was gifted to him as he does not have any other means of transportation.
