Cliff, 12 years old, SD

Wish submitted by:

Cliff is an amazing artist who is also very articulate. He loves sports and spends a lot of time outside, hitting balls and playing catch. Cliff has been in foster care since he was abandoned, which has left him struggling with his feelings about his family's decision to leave him. He desires a forever family but finds it difficult to open up to anyone. Cliff is a wonderful young man who strives to please others. He is actively working on improving his communication skills to better express his needs and challenges. Trusting others is hard for him, but he is also doing well in school and is quite smart.

Cliff enjoys drawing and sketching and would love to do it more often. Having books to help guide him and give him fun ideas to try would brighten his day and encourage his creativity. This step by step sketching books would support his interest and make drawing even more enjoyable for him.
