The Friends of Foster Care

Barrett is a gentle, patient young boy who naturally looks out for the younger children around him. He has spent much of his life helping care for his siblings and continues to be a positive role model in his foster home. After spending so much time taking care of others, Barrett is learning to enjoy being a kid himself through playing with toy trains and cars. He also loves anything that flies and dreams of becoming a pilot or aerial photographer one day. Barrett hopes to explore the world beyond the places he has known and deserves opportunities to have fun, follow his interests, and simply enjoy childhood.

Barrett has spent years looking up at planes and wondering what the world looks like from that high. A beginner-friendly drone with a camera would let him see for himself, soaring over parks, neighborhoods, and rooftops and capturing photos and video from a perspective most people never get to see. Learning to fly it takes patience, focus, and steady hands, which are all qualities Barrett already has in abundance, and each flight brings him a little closer to the future he is dreaming of.
