School Counselor is requesting financial assistance for a 12 year old student to play softball for the local youth league. The student lacks confidence and she has a low self-esteem. The student wants to play softball with her friends and classmates. Her mother is trying to her best to help her, but she is only making minimum wage. The student's mother feels ashamed that she cannot afford to help her daughter play softball. The student's father does not pay child support to the mother. When the student was able to play basketball the parent and school staff saw a big change in the student. Her attitude was much better and she was much more confident in herself. Her grades were greatly improved also. The school staff would really like to keep this student in sports in the local community with her friends.
