Adilim and His Family Find Big Support After a Big Move

Born in Nigeria, Adilim and his family moved to America when he was just a small baby.

With little or no family in the county to look to for support, Adilim’s mother found herself in a difficult place. She needed a trusted and structured environment for her children to go while she working to support her family.

Soon after their move, she was introduced to the Boys & Girls Club, and Adilim joined. Since then, Adilim has found a family in his Club.

“Boys & Girls Club to my two young boys and me have been family—a place where they love to be at all times,” says Adilim’s mother. “It is a place where my children have been able to express themselves and develop their talents academically and socially as they learn about American culture.”

Adilim is an enthusiastic learner, a great basketball player and avid science lover. He attends Karate classes, piano lessons and loves the Power Hour homework program. At the age of 11, he sees himself as a future scientist.

His mother says, “I have been touched by your services to me and my children and would like to express my profound thanks and appreciation for all you and your dynamic staff have done to assist my children and me in our process to stabilize. Thank you.”
