Darryle has done and is doing really well considering all that he has gone through in his life. In our home there are five other children. The ages are from 5-19 years of age. So Darryle has four foster brothers and one foster sister. He is good to all of them. He is always willing to help out without being asked.

Darryle is a very likeable young man. He is a very caring and giving person. He is very quiet until you get to know him. He is not always quiet.

He has worked at Kentucky Fried Chicken for the last two years. He is a very hard and dependable worker. Since having this job Darryle has opened a savings account and checking account.
