Life Skills Seminar for Zekeriah to attend while at Camp To Belong
Posted Jun 21, 2019
Zekeriah doesn't have access to the resources and skills that many of his peers have. He has been asking his social worker and foster family to be connected to a sibling he's separated from, as well as access to support services and a peer community so that he can start thinking about life after foster care. This wish will fund his participation in a Life Skills Seminar during a summer camp that will also reunite him with her sibling. Life Skills Seminar will bring in alumni foster care from around the state, provide all supplies needed, and leave Zek with ideas and resources that he can access anytime after camp.
Zekeriah is 21 years old and lives in ME
Zekeriah is the oldest of four brothers, who he has been living in a separate foster home from through no fault of his own. He loves cats, music, goofing off outside with his brothers, and staying in touch with old friends on social media even as he changes schools and homes. He is not able to see his brothers for more than brief visits other than at Camp To Belong.

"Thank you for your generous donation towards Life Skills seminar for Zekeriah! Everything went off without a hitch at Camp To Belong 2 weeks ago. Zekeriah and his siblings learned about resources available to them after foster care, but in the short term also learned how to advocate for more frequent sibling visits if that was what they wanted! Empowerment is priceless. Thank you for your part in making it possible."
