Kris, 15 years old, ME |

Wish submitted by:

Kris is an adventurous and intelligent person. He loves spending time outdoors, whether it’s swimming in the summer or building snowmen and having snowball fights in the winter. Having lived in foster care for several years, he has faced challenges being separated from his mother and siblings, which has left him grappling with feelings of grief and loss. To cope, he often turns to his imagination. Video games like Minecraft provide him a way to socialize with friends and express his creativity by solving puzzles and designing new worlds. Kris is also eager to learn. When given the right support at school, he truly shines and shows his potential. With a big heart, he’s generous and caring towards others, though he can sometimes struggle to manage his anger. However, he’s always willing to recognize when he’s made a mistake and seeks to make things right. Ultimately, Kris is a young man who needs patience, understanding, and, above all, to know that he matters in this world and is loved.

Kris is leaving the state of Maine for only the second time this Christmas. He is going to South Carolina with his new foster family. One thing that he is excited about is eating at Golden Corral. He has heard that the buffet is all you can eat and he cannot wait to fill his plate over and over with not only his favorites, but with a few new flavors as well!
