About Jackson

Jackson is 19 years old and lives in NC

Jackson is a vivid outdoorsy type of boy. He loves to go fishing, hunting, hiking, bird watching, and just about anything else you can do in the woods or at a stream or river. He also likes to have fun with the neighbor's kids, enjoys church, and likes to watch hunting and fishing shows on TV. Jackson is in therapeutic foster care and has had a very hard year. He has had several moves and things just don't get easy for him.
