| Help Now | Teen desiring some new clothingWorking with a 13 y/o female client who is experiencing bullying from her peers because she doesn't wear name brands. This student is one of six kids and her parents recently divorced. This student has experienced significant home changes. Mother is experiencing a tighter budget at this time and can't afford new clothing. The student is a good student who is friendly to all of her peers. She shows up to school enthusiastically and enjoys learning. It is my hope to reward her efforts and make her feel heard/seen by getting her a $150 GC to Kohls so she can find clothes she can proudly wear and decrease the negative attention.Submitted by: Scott County | Shakopee | No | 1780531200 | Closed - Filled through FISH | |
