A new backpack for Kris who is starting a new school!

Posted Aug 12, 2022
Kris recently moved into a new foster home and will be starting a new school in a few weeks. He is a little nervous and wants to be fully prepared for what the new year will bring. One thing he knows is that Middle School will require lots of extra supplies...including a laptop. He would love a new backpack that will keep all his stuff safe and organized!

Kris is 13 years old and lives in ME

Kris is an adventurous and intelligent young boy. He loves to be outside swimming in the summer and building snowmen in the winter. He has been living in foster care for 5 years and has had a difficult time being separated from his mother and siblings. He uses his imagination to deal with some of the grief and loss he feels. Games like Minecraft help him socialize with other kiddos and use his imagination to solve puzzles and create new worlds. He also loves to learn. If given the chance and proper support at school, he shines. He also has a very giving heart. While he can have trouble controlling his anger at times, he is quick to acknowledge what he did wrong and try to make amends. Kris is a young boy who needs patience, understanding, and above anything else- to know that he matters in this world and is loved!
