Wish list written by a foster child in Oklahoma

Recently, the organization shared a heartbreaking list written by a child from

Oklahoma who ended up in the foster system after enduring severe abuse from

both his parents who were heavy alcoholics. The boy never experienced love or the

joys a childhood normally brings. All he ever knew was negligence and starvation.

Years went by before a neighbor noticed that horrible things were taking place in the

boy’s home and decided to alert social services.

Once police intervened, the boy was taken to the Dreamcatchers for Abused

Children organization who made sure the little one ends in a new and loving home.

Finally, when the organization found the perfect family and shared the great

news with the boy, he made a wish list on which he included all the things he wanted in his new forever home.

Needless to say, the list melted many people’s hearts. Many took their time to

comment how the things on the list are not something a child should dream of

because they should have them automatically as most of them are just basic needs.

This list is a reminder that we should never take the things we have for granted.
