The Friends of Foster Care

Henry is a bright, chatty, and curious little boy who loves trains, vehicles, and rescue teams. He especially enjoys pretending to be a train conductor, assigning seats, handing out imaginary tickets, and announcing, “All aboard!” Since entering foster care, Henry has spent much of his time traveling to appointments, family visits, and meetings with the adults caring for him. Having something to hold and play with helps keep him calm and makes those trips a little easier. He is learning his letters, counting everything he sees, and exploring the world around him. More than anything, Henry hopes to find a permanent home where his train can finally reach its last stop and a loving family will be waiting for him.

Henry’s love of trains is boundless, and this take-along railroad would let him build a track that goes everywhere he does. He could set up the wooden pieces at the table, lay out a route, and run his train through tunnels and over bridges, narrating every stop along the way. Building tracks supports his problem-solving, fine motor skills, and imagination, and the portable design means his favorite game can travel from the kitchen to the car and to wherever life takes him next.
