Kaleb
Age: 16
Race: Multiracial
Kaleb is a caring young man with many interests. He can be very shy when you first meet him but with patience and time, he will let his guard down. He enjoys spending time playing video games and listening to music. In fact, music has become very therapeutic and a coping skill for him. Kaleb values his independence and being able to “be himself”. Kaleb has expressed he would like to be a firefighter when he gets older. If possible, a male firefighter mentor would be awesome for Kaleb.
Kaleb would enjoy a young, active two-parent home. Experience and empathy would be helpful in dealing with the trauma Kaleb has experienced in his young life. Like most children, Kaleb would do well with structure and routine balanced with nurturing and love. He will need a family willing to advocate for him and willing to be creative and think outside the box with resources.
