Lance, 9 years old, VA

Wish submitted by:

Lance is a quiet and smart little boy who is currently living in a foster home without his two siblings. He is working through his trauma and has come a long way. Lance will now allow his foster mother to to hug him. Lance is a little behind in school but with all the extra support he receives he will be grade level next semester. He loves to watch transformers on is kindle while he eats a snack.

Lance was recently placed in a new kinship foster home with his great aunt and uncle. He loves his new home, which is located on a small farm. Lance enjoys helping with the animals and has recently learned how to milk a cow. Although he had to change schools and felt somewhat down about leaving his friends, he is adapting to his new surroundings. Lance asked for a blue Easter basket to match the color of his new room. He would be very excited to receive his very own Easter basket this year. Purchasing the Easter basket for Lance will give him a sense of pride and self-worth, showing him that he is cared for by others.
