Hello Careportal Family and Supports!
I have a youth who was recently taken in by his god brother since his mother moved out of the state while he was in DCS Custody. This youth's god brother has 2 young children (both under 5) of his own and a new baby on the way and took in this 17 yr old boy out of wanting the best for his god brother and was safe. All this youth want ensure that he was safe. All this boy wants to do is get back into sports. He participated in Football, wrestling, and ran track before entering DCS Custody. He wants to go pro with football and has had several people reach out to him before he entered DCS Custody. When he entered DCS Custody and his mother moved out of the state, she took all of his clothes with her and she has not been willing to bring any of the youth's belongings to his god-brother or DCS. We are working to get a clothing allotment completed for this youth so he can have clothes but this youth really needs football cleats and gloves for football which he has gotten back into since he went to his god-brother. His god-brother wants to be able to get his new teenager these items but he cannot afford it with the other small children in the home. All this boy wants to do is play sports. Would you please help this young man with this?
