A helmet for Gray so he rides safely on his skateboard

Posted Dec 4, 2024
Gray is incredibly excited to be receiving a skateboard for Christmas. In his current foster home, many of the children are younger than him, so having something more suited to his age will help him feel more at home. While the skateboard promises to be a lot of fun, safety is also a top priority. To ensure he stays safe while riding, a helmet and protective pads will be perfect, and they'll match his board perfectly as well. With this combination, Gray can enjoy his new skateboard while staying protected.

Gray is 13 years old and lives in OH

Gray is an amazing boy who can be described as a gentle giant due to his tall stature and kind heart. He has a history of being in foster care but was able to live with a family member for a time. Recently, he had a brief chance to live with his mother, but unfortunately, he is now back in foster care. He is hopeful that he will return to live with his family members again soon. When Gray came into foster care, he did not have much with him, and he was missing many belongings, including his comfortable clothes, phone, and other personal items. He is adjusting well to his current foster home and interacts wonderfully with the younger children there, playing with them and redirecting their behavior when needed. Gray is polite and respectful to his foster parents, which is commendable. He is also managing well in school, although he admits that he misses sleeping in. Gray loves sports and video games, and despite his challenging circumstances and frequent moves, he remains sweet and is a joy to talk to.
