A Greater Hope

Jacob is a kind and sweet young boy. He is extremely resilient and takes on a caretaker role in the family. Even though he is not currently placed with all of his siblings, he does everything possible to ensure his siblings are doing well.

Jacob experiences big emotions and sometimes becomes angry, struggling to find the words to express his feelings. He has requested a stand-up punching bag to help manage and release these emotions in a healthy way. Jacob also has difficulty focusing on his homework because thoughts about his past trauma can be overwhelming. Using the punching bag would give him a constructive outlet for his emotions, helping him calm down and redirect his energy. This would allow him to focus better and complete his homework while supporting his emotional well-being.
