VR set for Franklin to escape the world around him for a little while

Posted Jan 28, 2025
***This is not an April Fool's joke! Thanks to a few very generous supporters who have underwritten the cost of this wish, it is only $10 - today only!*** Franklin had his first VR experience on a fun trip with other foster kids, and he loved it! He really enjoyed how it felt like he was inside the game, moving around and having a blast. Franklin wishes he had his own VR headset so he could play whenever he wanted. He can't stop talking about how awesome it was! Having his own headset would make him really happy. As a shy kid, games help him escape to another world, just like many kids who have been through tough times.

Franklin is 11 years old and lives in MO

Franklin has had a rough start in life, but that has not stopped him from being the sweetest and most generous child he can be while in care. He loves to give hugs and be a helping hand whenever he can! Franklin has the most amazing singing voice, and his caregivers love to listen to him sing. Franklin struggles with autism and works with his team to find ways to keep triggers low and behaviors within his control. Franklin uses playing as a tool to get some of his energy out, which helps keep things from being too overwhelming or over-stimulating. He plays basketball and video games. Franklin is also an avid Pokemon card and stuffed animal collector!
