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 is the heart of playtime in his home, and a dinosaur ramp track would give him and the little ones a thrilling new adventure to share. They could send cars racing down the ramps, past the dinosaur’s snapping jaws, and roar with laughter when they crash and then build the track back up again. Shared play like this strengthens the bonds between children who have been through a lot, and it lets Barrett be both a caring big brother and a kid who gets to have fun.
