VR set for Franklin to escape the world around him for a little while

Posted Jan 28, 2025
Franklin had his first VR experience during a respite trip with other foster children, and he was immediately hooked! He loved how it made him feel fully immersed in the surroundings and gameplay. He enjoyed the action of it all and appreciated being on his feet while still playing a game. Franklin really wishes he could have his own VR headset so he can explore games in his own time. It was such a memorable experience that he hadn't stopped talking about it. Having his own headset would bring him a lot of joy. As a shy child, Franklin finds great comfort in games that transport him to another world, much like many children who have experienced trauma.

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 while in care. 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!
