A basketball hoop for Ryder to practice his shots for his birthday

Posted Mar 25, 2025
Ryder loves sports, especially basketball. He often talks about his dream of playing basketball when he gets older. Currently, he practices on a basketball hoop that hangs on his bedroom door, but he would really like to practice outside. At school, he enjoys trying to shoot hoops on a full-sized basketball court, but he struggles to make baskets because he is still too short. A toddler-sized hoop would be perfect for him, as it is suited for his age and height. Having a basketball hoop would also give Ryder an engaging activity to do while his foster parent is busy with household tasks. Ryder requires a lot of attention and shooting hoops is an activity he can enjoy independently.

Ryder is 4 years old and lives in NE

Ryder is an energetic and spirited child who has been diagnosed with autism. He enjoys playing with toy cars and his favorite movie is *The Incredibles*. During playtime, he loves to pretend to be Mr. Incredible and has a vast imagination. Ryder's favorite color is green, and he enjoys talking to others about how green is also the color of his eyes. He is thriving in a loving foster home.
