New bike and Helmet for 7 y/o Jacob who loves playing outside!

Posted Feb 17, 2017
Jacob has been in foster care for about a year and a half. He missed so much school prior to his placement he was reading well below level and had to repeat a grade. Because he is so bright and his foster mother is so dedicated, Jacob is now at the appropriate reading level and is doing well in school. It's time to reward all this hard work with a little fun! As a typical boy, Jacob has tons of energy to burn and loves walks around his neighborhood, he would be thrilled to have "wheels" to get aound and burn some energy!

Jacob is 14 years old and lives in NC

Jacob is a young man who is constantly on the move. He is very social and loves to talk, which sometimes gets him in trouble at school. He plays the role of helper and guide to the newer foster children in his home. He tells them “its going to be ok”. He has a kind and compassionate heart.
