Issaiah would like to spend a whole week with his brothers at Camp

Posted May 21, 2019
Issaiah would like to be with his brothers in a place where he feels like he fits in and belongs. He only gets to see his brothers once a year at camp and he misses them so much.

Issaiah is 19 years old and lives in WI

Issaiah is a big kid with a big heart. He stands '6'2' and he cares deeply about his little brothers. Issaiah has been separated from his younger brothers for years. He said his little brothers called him "Say Say" when they were younger because they couldn't pronounce his name. He only gets to see Elijah and Alex once a year when they attend Camp To Belong together. When at camp they get to be brothers again. Sharing meals, running and playing, and they even get to celebrate their birthdays together. Issaiah says that sometimes one of his little brothers will call him "Say Say" and it makes him want to cry. Issaiah has a hard time in school, he feels different from his peers and he is ashamed that he is a foster kid. He doesn't talk much to other people, but when he is a camp he feels like he matters and he belongs. Issaiah misses his little brothers so much and he wants to have the opportunity to be the big brother he is, and to be called "Say Say" again.
