We are working with a 16-year-old male who resides with his grandparents. This youth has been working really hard and come a long way. He would like to be able to attend his school prom next weekend on 5/17 but has been unable to find a suit/tuxedo. Grandparents are on fixed income and have had to designate funds to some other costs for this youth, so they are unable to afford the cost of a rental suit/tuxedo. The family has looked at all of the local second hand and thrift shops, however, they have been unable to find coordinating items in his size.

The sizes this youth would need are as follows: Shirt and Suit Jacket/Tux - 2XL, Pants - 40x38, Dress Shoes - 11.5

The Department is humbly seeking assistance in our extended community for donations to help ease the financial strain during this emotional time. An extended family, living in the same home, consists of a mother and her two children (17YOF and 12YOM) and the mothers brother, his wife, and his two children (1YOM and 4YOM) is presently struggling to obtain even the basic necessities to live; this includes clothing for the children.
