Khalil is a sweet boy who loves school. He loves computers and loves playing video games. Khalil has been diagnosed with autism, and he has been described as very smart. Khalil enjoys reading books and building Legos. Khalil has a lot of energy and is interested in playing sports. He has moved in with his grandmother. Khalil enjoys spending time with his siblings and loves having movie nights. He also loves fun dinner theme nights such as taco nights or pizza nights.

Khalil’s birthday is coming up, and he really hopes to get a hoodie from his favorite artist’s concert merchandise. Music is a big part of his life and helps him feel better through the ups and downs of being in foster care. Getting that hoodie would mean so much to him because it's not just a new piece of clothing; it's something connected to what he loves. Wearing it would make him feel more confident and let him show off his personality to others. It would also make his birthday feel more special, reminding him that he is valued and deserves nice things. For a kid who has had a lot of uncertainty, receiving something that reflects his interests would create a happy memory he'll cherish.
