Scarred 4 Life

Jocquise was only 14 when his life was at an all time low. His mama was the typical housewife while his father was suppose to be the provider. They had no money coming in due to his father losing his job 2 months prior.

Due to his 2 year old baby sister being born with Sickle Cell Anemia, the state provided the family with a $700 check every first of the month including $300.

With barley enough money to pay the bills or enough food stamps to last through the whole month, Quise goes through days starving, smelling due to lack of hygiene products, and wears the same 4 outfits he has.

Fed up of how he's living, Quise turns to a male mentor he met through a friend. But is his mentor helpful? Or out to get something... Something that changed Jocquise forever.
