Fishing Pole for Matthew to hunt fish with family

Posted Jul 19, 2024
Matthew's family really wants to go fishing this summer but they don't have any fishing equipment or supplies! Matthew took a survival camp this summer, and loves to learn about how to survive in the wilderness with minimal supplies. He has asked to learn how to fish, gut it, and cook it.

Matthew is 11 years old and lives in ME

Matthew is clever and a good problem-solver. He likes to put things together and take things apart to see how they operate. He is helpful and a hard worker. He wants to learn how to play an instrument such as a guitar or piano. He loves going to the beach and lake with his foster family. He is very close to his 4 siblings, who he lives with, and wants to learn how to build close friendships.
