This is a wish list from an Oklahoma foster child!


The organization “Dreamcatchers for Abused Children” posted on Facebook a sneak peek of a boy who left a whole world in tears.
This organization fights to support and care for children who have suffered any type of abuse within the family.

Children abused by their parents are taken from home and taken to a center where they are offered support, care, and understanding. Then, the little ones are looking for an adoptive family to take care of them and love them unconditionally, in order to have a quiet life without abuse.

An Oklahoma boy has been abused by his biological parents. For several years the child was beaten, starved by both parents, who were alcoholics. The little one was deprived of the joy of childhood, of the beautiful moments specific to his age.

After the neighbors called the police, the child was taken from his biological parents and taken over the organization “Dreamcatchers for Abused Children”.
The volunteers from the organization soon found an adoptive family, where the child was waiting to receive a normal life.

When he learned that he would be adopted by a new family, the boy wrote a letter to his adoptive family in which he wrote what he would like to have in his new home.

This is a wish list from an Oklahoma foster child….. When we think of how bad we have things, we MUST always remember the children who have nothing. Who NEED us.

“Things I want in my family.
I want food and water
Don’t hit on me.
A house with running water and lights.
I want love.
Mom and dad don’t fight.
I want no drugs.
Don’t kill my pets.
Help with school.
Nice clean clothes.
No lice. No bug in house.
Clean house.
Clean bed with covers.
Don’t sell my toys.
Treated fair.
Don’t get drunk.
Tv in house.
Let me keep my school stuff.
Nice shoes.
My own comb soap. Nice house and safe and heater coat.
Toothbrush.”
