A wish list written by an Oklahoma foster kid

A nonprofit dedicated to helping abused children find healing is Dreamcatchers for Abused Children. There is a strong emphasis on “educating the public on all aspects of child abuse such as symptoms, intervention, prevention, statistics, reporting, and helping victims locate the proper resources necessary to achieve a full recovery” as stated on their website as the primary objective.

A young Oklahoma boy whose parents were alcoholics subjected him to horrific abuse before he was placed in the care of the foster care system just had a devastating list revealed by the organization. Love and the typical pleasures of youth were never a part of the boy’s life. The only things he had ever known were neglect and hunger.
