Lewis is a kind-hearted, resilient, and well-mannered teen who consistently shows gratitude and a strong desire to help his current caregiver. His foster placement has been a very positive experience, as Lewis has shared that this is the first time he has lived in a home where he feels genuinely cared for and supported in meeting all of his needs. Throughout his life, Lewis has experienced significant grief and instability, as he lived in three separate homes where each caregiver passed away, resulting in multiple moves caused by the loss of the adults who were caring for him. Despite this repeated loss and trauma, Lewis has remained focused, respectful, and determined. He continues to perform well academically, earning A’s and B’s, and demonstrates kindness and responsibility even though he did not grow up with consistent stability or guidance. As he adjusts to his current placement, Lewis is experiencing many firsts, including family gatherings and recently celebrating his birthday for the first time. Lewis’s strength, resilience, and goal-oriented mindset make him a truly special teenager.
