Owen, 5 years old

Wish submitted by:

Owen is a sweet little boy who loves dinosaurs and the outdoors. He is very adventurous and enjoys playing with his little sister and new cousins. Owen follows directions well and is a quick learner. He looks forward to trying new experiences and is always excited about going on outings. Although he has been in foster care for a while and has faced many changes, he is very resilient and has shown remarkable adjustment to his current foster home. One of his favorite experiences since moving to his current placement was visiting Great Wolf Lodge. He absolutely loved the water slides and showed no fear when trying out the bigger slides.

Owen has been through a lot and often experiences intense emotions. At times, it can be challenging for him to know how to cope with these feelings. However, he has been learning some effective coping skills and has done an excellent job applying them. One thing that really helps him is talking about his feelings and receiving reminders of how much he is loved. A jar filled with Bible verses would be wonderful for him to read before bed, as it can remind him that God is with him during difficult times.
