Art supplies for Dominic who is working on his lifebook

Posted Feb 16, 2024
Dominic has been in out of home placement most of his life. e has moved several times over the years as he waits to be matched with his forever home. A lifebook is basically a scrapbook but a child puts it together with a trusted adult and it tells a story of his life to help foster a sense of identity. Dominic is working on creating a lifebook and is in need of scrapbooking materials of his choice to share his unique story. Making a lifebook is often times therapeutic and can help make sense of all the changes in his life. This lifebook will be where Dominic can capture visual memory of things, people and places forever.

Dominic is 13 years old and lives in NJ

Dominic is an outgoing youngster who enjoys going to school and does well academically. Reading is his favorite subject, besides recess. He loves sports and dreams of becoming a football or basketball player. Dominic is helpful and always wants to be involved with those around him. He plays basketball in his afterschool program and he enjoys being part of a team for the first time. His smile and laughter light up the room. Dominic has been separated from his sibling most of his life but they do connect on zoom occasionally. Its hard and he struggles with the loss of his biological family as he awaits a forever home.
