A Portable Basketball Hoop for Kris who wants to make the team next fall

Posted May 22, 2023
Kris loves basketball and is ready to start practicing his skills. He was in residential treatment before his current placement and was intimidated by the older boys' skill level so he didn't get to play as much as he wanted. He would love to have his own hoop at home so he can play and practice all summer in the hopes of making the school team this fall!

Kris is 14 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 a few 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!
