Children Waiting For A Home...
Charlise is a sweet, gentle 10-year-old girl who lights up every room with her warm smile. Charlise is a 5th grader who thrives in her specialized classroom and enjoys connecting with her peers during activities like art and gym. Music is her greatest joy- especially Disney tunes from The Little Mermaid and The Lion King. Whether she ' s choosing her favorite songs with her communication device or soaking in the melodies, music brings her comfort and happiness. Charlise loves spending time outdoors, going for walks in her neighborhood, and participating in community events like Halloween parades. Her dream day would include sunshine, music, and time with loved ones in a backyard. She dreams of finding a forever family and all family types are welcome to explore this connection. Her ideal family will enjoy quiet days together and embrace her need for ongoing support. Her caregivers cherish special moments with her, like watching her
CHARLISE light up while opening gifts or selecting her favorite songs. Charlise is ready to
share her sweet spirit with a family committed to walking beside her through life.
Malachi is a bright and energetic 13-year-old who shines when he ' s active and engaged. Malachi has made incredible strides at school recently, particularly in reading. He finds joy and confidence playing soccer and basketball at school, sports that help him channel his energy and build friendships. A true Pokémon enthusiast, Malachi treasures his collection of cards and loves sporting his favorite Pokémon T-shirts. His dream day is simple and full of fun- playing sports, grabbing a bite to eat, and capping it off with ice cream. He is also happiest when playing video games on his Nintendo Switch or heading out for community adventures like visiting parks, going to the movies, or spending time at an arcade. Malachi is looking for a family that can provide structure, active engagement, and strong supervision. A home with a strong male role model would be ideal, and he ' s open to families of all compositions, including single fathers and same-sex male couples. Pets are welcome in his world! Malachi is eager for a family who will share his love for outings and celebrate his milestones, big and small.
