Wilder, 8 years old, MO

Wilder is quiet and thoughtful. He enjoys reading and learning. He prefers calm activities where he can focus, use his imagination, and explore new ideas. Books are one of his favorite ways to learn about the world and discover new interests. He has also developed a love for video games, enjoying the problem-solving, creativity, and sense of accomplishment they bring. Wilder has gone through a very difficult time after losing his parents in a car accident. It has been a major change for him, and he is still working through a lot at a young age. He now lives with his aunt and his siblings, where he is surrounded by love and support as they adjust to this new chapter together. Even through hardship, Wilder shows quiet strength and resilience. With a stable home, caring family, and the things he enjoys—like reading and gaming—he continues to grow, learn, and find comfort in everyday life.
