Weeks ago Jeremiah Armstead was living in a domestic violence shelter with his family. Now he's on his way to Tennessee to play basketball for Fisk University.
The non-profit Make Good Inc. opened the doors to its retail shop so Armstead could get some new clothes.
Almost everything is brand new and founder Ruth Stalford is quick to note that it is not a thrift store. She says, "it's a value statement." When you think of the unhoused, a 6' 5 teen basketball player probably doesn't come to mind. But now there is an inspirational team effort to get Jeremiah Armstead to college.
"I've been homeless since my freshman sophmore year," says Armstead. His high school coach gave him his basketball shoes.
