The Friends of Foster Care

Cormac has been in foster care for two years and keeps a weather journal each morning, noting cloud shapes, wind direction, and afternoon predictions. He has lived in three homes and prefers to observe and listen before warming up to new people, surprising them with his dry humor and insightful questions in class. Dreaming of becoming a meteorologist, Cormac is steady and thoughtful, eager to help others prepare for changes, just as he has had to adapt throughout his life.

Cormac has been the cheerleader on the sidelines for a long time, and he is finally ready to take his turn. A bike of his own would let him learn right alongside Keenan, and the two of them could practice together, laugh at each other’s wobbles, and celebrate every small victory. Riding builds balance, confidence, and the joy of trying something that once felt scary, and learning with a brother makes it feel safe. It would also give the two of them a shared adventure, a way to explore their neighborhood side by side. Your gift would give Cormac the courage to leave the curb behind and the thrill of riding right next to his twin.
