This request is for a Holland High student in need of a couple things to help occupy him with positive and safe activities during the summer. This student has struggled with attendance and mental health concerns this year due to a number of factors - some within his control, and some outside of his control. This student has been doing better on attendance, and in a meeting with a staff member he mentioned really wanting a basketball to be able to go to a park and play basketball as a way to stay active and do something positive.
This student also mentioned that he would love to get another job over the summer, but he does not have transportation. The student used to have a bike, but it broke and is no longer workable. A bike would be a huge boost to his confidence and morale, and would allow him to look for jobs and open up his world a bit during the summer. He also mentioned that it would help him get to school more reliably. The student is on the taller side, roughly 6' tall and will likely continue growing (to help with bike sizing). Because the price range on bikes is so vast, I put in a general amount - if the bicycle costs less than that amount, that is totally fine!
