Kris, 14 years old, ME

Wish submitted by:

Kris is an adventurous and intelligent young boy. He loves to be outside swimming in the summer and building snowmen in the winter. He has been living in foster care for a few years and has had a difficult time being separated from his mother and siblings. He uses his imagination to deal with some of the grief and loss he feels. Games like Minecraft help him socialize with other kiddos and use his imagination to solve puzzles and create new worlds. He also loves to learn. If given the chance and proper support at school, he shines. He also has a very giving heart. While he can have trouble controlling his anger at times, he is quick to acknowledge what he did wrong and try to make amends. Kris is a young boy who needs patience, understanding, and above anything else- to know that he matters in this world and is loved!

Kris is spending the next week at respite with a new family. He always wants to pitch in and help wherever he can. There are three other teenage boys in the home and Kris wants to make a good impression. He would love to treat them all to a yummy breakfast of donuts, sandwiches, and coffee to start the day and weekend off right!
