Triston is a bright and active young man in care who loves to stay busy and make people smile. He is excellent in school and does especially well in math, where he enjoys solving tough problems and challenging himself. When he’s not in school, Triston loves playing football and basketball and dreams of becoming a professional athlete one day. In his free time, Triston likes to paint and play video games. Triston is kind, outgoing, and full of energy, with big dreams for his future.

Paint is an important outlet for Triston and helps him manage stress and express his emotions. Triston used to keep things bottled up inside him. While working through his trauma with his therapist, he started drawing during his sessions, and he realized that it really helped him regulate and work through what he was feeling. He has asked for a large set of paints so he can keep working through those feelings.
