A New Pair of Everyday Crocs for Marquise to wear

Posted Dec 27, 2024
Marquise loves being comfortable. He has been working hard to gain new skills, such as obtaining his forklift certification and soon pursuing CPR and welding, all while enrolled in a culinary program. However, as he navigates his goals while trying to stay present and productive, Marquise is having a tough time adjusting to his living situation. Although he attempts to socialize and play basketball with peers during his downtime, it isn’t the same as being at home with his family. While learning to accept his new normal, Marquise continues to seek comfort. Although he isn’t particularly interested in fashion, he likes to look nice, as long as he can remain comfortable. Marquise would like a pair of black Crocs that he can easily slide on and off at home, instead of having to put on his sneakers for simple tasks such as going to the restroom, taking out the trash, or cooking for himself and his roommate.

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.
