Obocho Peters is a fifth-grader on a mission to make sure those who are less fortunate are able to dress to impress. With that in mind, the 11-year-old boy from Brooklyn, New York, runs Obocho’s Closet, a thrift store selling affordable donated clothes and shoes for kids for under $10.
The project first started in 2018 as an online thrift shop, and in December Obocho opened his first local store in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Flatbush. “It makes me feel like the hard work I’ve been doing in this community. It finally paid off,” he said.
Obocho was able to get his dream off the ground thanks in part to a GoFundMe page, which explained the inspirational backstory to his mission. The student wrote that after seeing Avengers: Infinity War, he asked his mom Sasha Peters for eight toys from the film. When Peters said she couldn’t afford the toys, Obocho took matters into his own hands, selling clothes and shoes he no longer wore to pay for them himself.
“I realized that other families must face these same challenges when taking care of their children,” he wrote. “That idea turned into the mission I have today — to help the community grow.” “I was inspired by all the superheroes helping to make the world a better place,” he added. “I wanted to be a hero myself by helping my mom.”
