Growth is Life Foundation

Christopher has faced significant trauma after his father was incarcerated, which caused the family to lose everything, including their home. This sudden instability has deeply affected his sense of safety and routine. He is now being cared for by a family friend along with his sister while his father is away, which has been a major adjustment for him. These changes have contributed to his struggles in school, making it harder for him to focus and feel confident. Despite everything, Christopher holds onto his dream of becoming a police officer one day. His resilience shows through as he continues to hope for a better future while navigating circumstances far beyond his control.

Christopher is asking for a trampoline with a mini hoop because it would give him a healthy and positive outlet for his energy and emotions. After experiencing so much instability and loss, physical activity can help him release stress safely and constructively. Jumping and playing basketball can improve his focus, confidence, and overall well-being. This type of play also encourages routine and structure, which can be especially helpful during uncertain times. Having a fun activity at home would allow Christopher to experience joy without needing extra resources. Most importantly, the trampoline would support both his physical and emotional healing through play.
