Hunter, 13 years old, ME

Hunter entered care carrying more than most children ever should. He now lives with his grandmother and siblings in a home filled with love, stability, and support, where he feels safe and cared for. However, adjusting to these changes has been difficult for him and continues to affect his emotional and social development. Hunter is also navigating this stage of life without many peers who truly understand what he has been through. At school, he works hard to keep up, but he sometimes struggles to connect with others, which can impact his confidence. Even so, Hunter keeps trying and shows quiet strength every day, even on the hardest days. With encouragement and support, he has great potential to grow in confidence and thrive, and even small acts of kindness can help remind him that he is seen, valued, and not alone.
