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 has recently discovered a passion for drawing dragons, and he's super excited about getting a 3-D dragon as a special gift for his graduation. After all the hard work he put into graduating 8th grade, this dragon will be a perfect way to celebrate! It’ll be something unique, just like the ones his friends have. Along with his dragon, he's also getting a dragon sketchbook to fill with his exciting ideas.
