A portable Bluetooth speaker for Marquise to celebrate his birthday

Posted Dec 6, 2024
Marquise has a deep passion for music that fills his everyday life with joy and energy. Whether he’s tidying up his bedroom, whipping up a delicious meal in the kitchen, immersing himself in a thrilling video game, or shooting hoops in the backyard, a new speaker would enhance these moments with vibrant sound. Music serves as a vital coping mechanism for Marquise; it helps him navigate his emotions when he feels low or finds himself facing stressful situations. Recently, after misplacing his favorite earbuds, Marquise has yearned for an alternative that won't easily be lost. A speaker would not only provide him with the comforting melodies he loves but also offer a more reliable way to enjoy his favorite tunes.

Marquise is 20 years old and lives in GA

Marquise is a bright young man who is currently living in a transitional living program (TLP) with a dozen other youths who are in extended foster care. Though Marquise has faced challenges within foster care, he has remained resilient and focused on his accomplishments. Marquise has completed all required exams for his GED within a matter of 2 weeks. He has gained employment and enrolled in a culinary program since his enrollment into the TLP program. Although Marquise is still debating if college is the route he wants to take, he is pursuing certifications until he is sure of his next move. He has recently obtained certification in forklifts. He is quiet, always well-mannered, and has a smile that lights up a room.
