A scooter and helmet for an active 11 year old boy who would love a healthy outlet for his energy!

Posted Mar 8, 2017
Conner is placed in a treatment home with his younger sister while he goes through the recruitment process to find an adoptive home. Conner will escape his negative feelings of loss by reading most of the time, but he also loves to get outside and play. He recently asked for a bike or a scooter to be able to ride in the park that is located near his treatment home. This would be a fun and healthy way for he and his sister and roommate to be able to get outside and burn off some energy and get some fresh air.

Conner is 17 years old and lives in NJ

Conner is a very intelligent and handsome young man. He loves to read and recently finished up the Harry Potter Series. Conner is a 5th grade student and he does well in school academically, behaviorally Conner faces some challenges. Conner came into care at age 6 when his mother neglected him and his two siblings and was no longer able to care for them due to her own mental health instability. Since then Conner has become legally free for adoption and has been separated in placement from his older brother. The losses of his mother and brother have been very challenging for Conner and although he continues working with a mentor and therapist , his feelings still sometimes come out in aggressive behaviors at school. Conner loves Legos and building things with his hands, he loves to eat and also to cook!
