A new winter coat for Kris who has grown out of most of his clothes

Posted Dec 9, 2022
Kris is going through a growth spurt and most of the clothing his foster father purchased for him at the beginning of the school year is already too small. Kris is particular about fit and clothing feels so would like to go shopping in the store to try things on and see how they look and feel. He would love a gift card to JC Penney so he can hit the racks and pick out a new coat and boots.

Kris is 13 years old and lives in ME

Kris is an adventurous and intelligent young boy. He loves to be outside swimming in the summer and building snowmen in the winter. He has been living in foster care for 5 years and has had a difficult time being separated from his mother and siblings. He uses his imagination to deal with some of the grief and loss he feels. Games like Minecraft help him socialize with other kiddos and use his imagination to solve puzzles and create new worlds. He also loves to learn. If given the chance and proper support at school, he shines. He also has a very giving heart. While he can have trouble controlling his anger at times, he is quick to acknowledge what he did wrong and try to make amends. Kris is a young boy who needs patience, understanding, and above anything else- to know that he matters in this world and is loved!
