Karate lessons for Donell to learn and develop his skills

Posted Feb 14, 2024
Another amazingly generous supporter is underwriting the cost of all of the longest-waiting wishes, so this wish is just $25 – today only! *** Donell's placement sibling currently attends karate lessons. Donell has expressed interest in learning the art of Karate and also taking lessons as well. With this wish, Donell would be able to attend these karate lessons multiple times per week over the course of a few months and develop his skills. These classes will help him to build confidence and develop his skills. He will be so happy to be able to let out some energy and learn something new.

Donell is 10 years old and lives in NC

Donell is in his second placement, where he is with one other foster child as well as a child of the foster parents. He is a very smart and outgoing child whose positivity and happiness are infectious to all around him. Donell is always smiling and showing off different facts he has learned or Pokémon cards he has collected. His foster mother calls him “her little helper,” as he loves to be involved and assist in anything going on. He serves as a safety patrol officer for his school and absolutely loves his role. He is always wearing his safety patrol vest even when he is not on patrol because he is so proud. He loves to play basketball and Fortnite when he gets the opportunity. He is an excellent reader and has progressed beyond his grade level in his reading abilities.
