Trip to Target for Eric who is an energetic boy

Posted Oct 31, 2017
While Eric is living in foster care he doesn't have many items of his own. A gift card to Target for Eric could provide him with games to play with and keep encouraging him to stay active and engage in activities with other children,

Eric is 18 years old and lives in NJ

Eric has a lot of special needs, including autism. He is primarily non-verbal, although he is learning a few words like cookie, ball, more, no, and dog. In spite of being in foster care since he was 2 years old, he is a lovable, outgoing young boy. He loves to play basketball, play in pools, ride horses and swing on the swing set at school.
