NJ DCFS - Monmouth County

Dontrell is an active little boy. He loves Paw Patrol and Bluey. Dontrell is diagnosed with autism and is mostly non-verbal. He likes running, climbing, and riding his bike. He is a handful as he is very hyper but is the most loving little boy ever!

Dontrell and his sister have been placed in a pre-adoptive home with a relative. Dontrell has been diagnosed with autism, which makes it difficult for him to interact with other children. As a result, the resource parent cannot take him to a regular playground, which also limits his sister's ability to go. The resource parent wants both children to enjoy outdoor activities during the summer so that they are not cooped up inside all the time. However, she has a limited income, and her rent has recently increased significantly. As a single parent, she does not have the funds to purchase an outdoor swing set at this time. This swing set would include a chair swing, a regular swing, a climbing ladder, and a basketball hoop, making it the perfect play space for both Dontrell and his sister.
