A trampoline for Franklin to bounce away his stress

Posted Mar 19, 2024
Franklin feels like sometimes he spends too much time on his Switch and not enough time outdoors! As the weather gets warmer, he wants to do more outside work, but currently, their yard doesn't have much to offer. Franklin has always wanted a trampoline to bounce around and shoot hoops. Franklin also uses exercise as a means to cope with triggers and behavioral control, so a trampoline is a perfect means to jump out his stress. Franklin also wants a space where he and his foster family can come together and play, allowing them time to create a closer bond. He is a very selfless child and has talked more about what a trampoline will mean for everyone in the home; even if it is his wish, he is excited about the opportunity to share the fun with everyone!

Franklin is 10 years old and lives in MO
