Bastian entered foster care after being found along with his 3 other siblings living in a 10 foot by 12 foot room that had no running water or electricity for over a year. The children were living in unsanitary and unsafe conditions, and their mother’s substance use was within their reach. Through the mother's hard work and the support of her team, Bastian and his siblings are now being placed back in her care. While this is an exciting new chapter for their family, they are rebuilding their home and have very few belongings, which poses many challenges. Because of all the recent changes in his life, he sometimes has to work hard to calm himself down when he experiences big emotions, especially at school. Bastian loves Ninja Turtles, art projects, anything creative, and spending time with his brothers and sisters.
