Kids seek homes for the holidays
This year, tens of thousands of foster children in California will face the holidays in hopeful anticipation of a foster or adoptive parent. The holidays are an emotionally taxing time for these children who have lost their biological parents as well as the comfort and security of home. Without a foster or adoptive parent, foster kids can expect to spend the holiday season with other children in a group facility. Angels in Waiting’s goal is to find foster children homes for the holidays so they can experience what every child deserves: the warmth, love and kindness of the holiday season. We will feature children in need of holiday homes over the course of the season. While our ultimate goal is to find holiday homes that can turn into forever homes for these beautiful children—for those unable to foster, your generous donation to Angels in Waiting (AIW) will help us locate foster parents for our holiday angels. Introducing Octavia, Omega and Omari~
Octavia, born in 2007 is a very girlie girl. She enjoys playing with dolls, coloring and princesses. She also likes watching television, and playing with her brothers. Octavia likes the outdoors and enjoys going to school. She gets along well with other children, and is easily redirected when her behavior calls for it. She has good eating habits and enjoys attention. Omega, born in 2008 is a little boy with a lot of energy. He enjoys playing with his siblings, playing outside, and with toy cars. Omega also enjoys watching television and playing video games. He has good eating habits and eats everything! Omega does have medical necessities and is currently in treatment for sickle cell anemia. He is very playful and loves to laugh. Omari, born in 2010 is the epitome of boy! He likes playing all sorts of sports and games especially outdoors. He enjoys playing with his brother and sister and other children his age. He is known to be a very curious and alert child. He has a good appetite and lots of energy. Octavia, Omega, and Omari are sweet children who are in need of a loving and nurturing home. They are a joy to be around and would be a wonderful addition to a family. Local families preferred. Go to http://heartgalleryla.org/ or call 1-888-811-1121 to foster these children.
If you are unable to foster, please consider making a donation to AIW. Your donation will support the operating costs necessary to find a home for these beautiful children to enjoy the holidays together. Currently Octavia, Omega and Omari face the possibility of being placed in separate homes. Because of Omega’s treatable medical needs, it may be harder to find a family that will care for him and his two siblings. Separation is a blow these siblings simply should not have to experience, especially during the holidays. Thank you for your consideration in fostering or spreading the word about these kids and thank you for making a donation to support the work of AIW, which will enable more foster children in California to find loving homes for the holidays.
