A trip to Five Below for Abel who wants to pick out a birthday present for his big brother

Posted Oct 25, 2024
Abel has spent most of his life in foster care, and for many of those years, he has been placed separately from all of his siblings. Recently, he was able to move to a foster home with his oldest brother, but he still has another older brother whom he does not live with and does not see often. That brother will be having a birthday party soon, and Abel is so excited to attend in order to celebrate and see all of his siblings! The party will be even more special if Abel can bring the perfect gift for his brother. To find the ideal present, Abel has chosen to go shopping at Five Below. He loves this store because it offers a wide variety of items, all at affordable prices. Abel can't wait to go shopping with his oldest brother as they both work hard to select the perfect gifts for their brother's birthday. He is thrilled not only about giving a present but also about the chance to shop for it himself. This experience will help Abel and his brother feel connected and provide a sense of normalcy during a chaotic time in their lives.

Abel is 11 years old and lives in OH

Abel has spent more than half of his life in foster care and has had to change placements almost every year that he's been in care. Abel has spent a lot of time separated from all of his siblings, but despite that, he has always maintained a positive attitude and outlook on life. Abel loves Legos, video games, and playing outside. He is an inspiring comedian and loves to make people laugh! Abel's role model is his biggest brother, and he loves it when they are able to spend time together.
