A PS4 for Blake who loves gaming as an escape when times are tough

Posted Jul 19, 2021
Blake loves to play the PlayStation at his residential facility. He loves having a distraction from the difficult situation he is in right now. When he's gaming, all his stress and worries melt away. Blake will be discharged from this program soon, and he is very anxious about how he will relieve his stress without a PS4 available to him at his next placement. He will be moving to an adoptive home which is super exciting, but it will be a big change and Blake would love to have his most effective coping mechanism available to him during this transition. Having a gaming system to call his own will help him for years ahead as he masters challenges both in his games and in his personal life. Having a PS4 at his adoptive home will help him feel happy and relieved, knowing he can keep up with his friends online and he has a virtual escape available any time.

Blake is 13 years old and lives in VA

Blake is described as a very caring, loyal, and unique young man. His favorite color varies, but he most often says it is red. Blake wears amazing combinations of clothes and has a great sense of personal style, his favorite brands include Under Armour and Nike. Blake also enjoys learning skills to do things independently. Blake is a good eater and says his favorite food is meat. Blake is also very creative and smart and enjoys playing video games. He enjoys listening and singing to country music, spending time outside playing sports, and riding his bike all around the neighborhood. Blake is a very active child with tons of energy. He loves playing all sports but basketball is his favorite. Blake also loves hunting and fishing, really anything outdoors. He also has a creative side and loves building model cars and building LEGO sets. Blake loves to collect different LEGO sets and would one day want an entire room filled with LEGOs he has built. Blake is a big talker and can easily carry a conversation with a complete stranger. He would love to be placed in a home that is on a farm and has animals. Blake loves animals and says he finds them very therapeutic.
