Jackson, 14 years old

Wish submitted by:

Jackson is a wonderful child who loves his siblings and will often provide emotional support when it appears it is needed. For example, he quickly hugs a sibling when it appears he or she is crying. He is fortunate to reside in the same home of two of his siblings. Jackson enjoys creating homes out of Lincoln Logs with his siblings as they will make elaborate homes. He can easily spend an hour creating a home and happily tell his foster parent all about the new home he created.

Jackson did not attend school for over a year due to family circumstances. He attends school in his current foster home and he is making growth in math and reading and has been enjoying the academic enrichment he has received. During the summer, he will most likely not attend summer school due to budget cuts. Nonetheless, he needs to learn to read and make gains on basic math skills. He has the ability to learn, but he needs more resources. Jackson would love a trip to the book store to pick out some awesome new learning materials.
