HOLIDAY WISH

A new drums set for Paul to practice his music

Posted Dec 11, 2021
Paul used to love Christmas. He used to get excited and hopeful during this season and he wants to feel that again! He has been wanting to play the drums and is hoping somehow he can get a drum set for Christmas! This will open up his mind to new experiences and do something he is looking forward to.

Paul is 19 years old and lives in NY

Paul recently was placed in his current group home. He’s trying to fit in and get use to being around the other boys. He was previously in a foster home, so this group setting is all very new to him. Because of Paul’s past, he struggles with celebrations and receiving gifts. He’s also very sensitive to how others treat him and approach him. Paul often talks about never wanting a family, but he also talks about having a son one day. Paul often reverts into his own mind, but when he’s approached and a conversation is started he will engage. With more time, Paul will open to up to his foster brothers.

Awesome Human grants the wish for Paul! Thanks Awesome Human.

"Hi Paul, I heard you would love to play the drums. I have been playing the drums myself for almost 23 years (started when I was 11 and I am now 34). The drums and music have always been there for me and they brought me to other countries to play for people. Music is something that will always be a part of you and with hard work and dedication it can bring you places you never thought you could go. Cheers and rock on!"
