A trampoline for Franklin to bounce away his stress

Posted Mar 19, 2024
Franklin feels like sometimes he spends too much time on his Switch and not enough time outdoors! As the weather gets warmer, he wants to do more outside work, but currently, their yard doesn't have much to offer. Franklin has always wanted a trampoline to bounce around and shoot hoops. Franklin also uses exercise as a means to cope with triggers and behavioral control, so a trampoline is a perfect means to jump out his stress. Franklin also wants a space where he and his foster family can come together and play, allowing them time to create a closer bond. He is a very selfless child and has talked more about what a trampoline will mean for everyone in the home; even if it is his wish, he is excited about the opportunity to share the fun with everyone!

Franklin is 11 years old and lives in MO

Franklin has had a rough start in life but that has not stopped him from being the sweetest and most generous child he can be. He loves to give hugs and be a helping hand whenever he can! Franklin has the most amazing singing voice and his caregivers love to listen to him sing. Franklin struggles with autism and works with his team to find ways to keep triggers low and behaviors within his control. Franklin uses playing as a tool to get some of his energy out which helps keep things from being too overwhelming or over-stimulating. He plays basketball and video games. Franklin is also an avid Pokemon card and stuffed animal collector!

"The rainy days in Missouri couldn't dampen the spirits of this guy when he received his new trampoline, he is so looking forward to getting it put together. The delivery came just in time for school letting out and the family feels like this is going to be an excellent way of summer fun and exercise for Franklin. They are very thankful for this generous gift and wish for the grantor to know that they are a true blessing on their family. Providing something so sweet to a boy who has been through so much and overcome a lot of challenges is just amazing. "
