Grace Retreat Foster Care and Adoption Services

Nathaniel is placed in foster care with his younger brother. When he came into care, his teacher stepped up and said they would take placement of him and his younger brother. He is thankful that he was placed with someone with whom he already had a strong bond with. Nathaniel is a resilient and smart young man. He has had a lot of struggles but is working hard to get better grades and be a good role model for his little brother.

Nathaniel would like a new Xbox. He had one previously, but it broke, and buying a new one is not within his family's budget. He knows it is a big ask, but he loves playing video games, and he feels they help him manage his stress and anxiety. It provides an outlet for him and a way to connect with his friends when he plays online. Nathaniel will be so happy to have a new Xbox to play all of his favorite games. He might even jump up and down when this arrives!
