Story
The child I'm serving is a 13 year-old boy who has been in foster care for the past ten years. He's a bright, charming, and super smart young man who remains hopeful for his future despite the incredibly difficult journey he's endured in his short life. This kiddo moved into a new treatment center program during late-May where he can receive the help he needs to continue healing. This special program is located four hours from his only consistent family connections - his mother and aunt - each of whom struggle to make ends meet. The treatment program offers a once-monthly family visitation day and the kiddo would very much like for his family to come see him at his new home in July. The family is unable to afford the cost of a hotel room in our community which is needed to accommodate both a meeting with kiddo's therapist on a Friday afternoon and then the family visitation day the following Saturday morning. I'm hoping to receive the community's support in sponsoring the $115 cost of the hotel with a gift card. The family will cover the cost of gas to drive in from their home on the other side of Texas.
