Silas, 9 years old, MO

Wish submitted by:

Silas is an active boy in foster care who thrives on outdoor adventures, getting muddy, and embracing the dirt. His passion for trucks, cars, and fire trucks is unmatched, and his smart, inquisitive nature shines through in everything he does. Whether he’s diving into a new learning experience or racing his favorite toy trucks, Silas is always engaged and enthusiastic. As the middle child in a family of six, Silas sometimes finds himself navigating the unique dynamics of being in the middle. While he loves spending time with his four siblings, he also cherishes his solo playtime. His mix of sweetness and mischievousness keeps us on our toes, but his love and curiosity make him a cherished part of his family.

Silas has two older siblings who are both involved in archery, and they all share an old bow. With five siblings using one bow, Silas often has to wait for his turn. Despite this, he remains excited about the sport. He will soon start archery class and dreams of having his own bow to practice and improve his skills. Having his own bow would allow Silas to participate more fully in an activity he loves and share this experience with his siblings. It would help him build confidence, responsibility, and focus while doing something enjoyable. Owning a bow would make him feel proud, included, and ready to embark on his own archery journey.
