We have new updates on precious Oliver!

You may remember “bright” Oliver, whose story we recently shared here.  Oliver still waits for a family, and we were happy to receive updates on how this sweet boy is continuing to grow.

Oliver is an outgoing boy, described as “lively and cheerful,” with a sweet smile. His caretakers reference the “very cute” way his face scrunches when he laughs.

Oliver enjoys playing with electric cars and balls and also enjoys puzzles. He enjoys these activities best when he is able to play with other children, and he is always happy to share.

Oliver has worked very hard in his therapies and has made big improvements on his balance and strengthening – we are so proud of him! He walks freely with something to hold on to, and has learned to do many daily tasks independently. He has also continued to grow and thrive academically. He often recites nursery rhymes and poems from memory and is able to count and write his numbers well. Oliver is such a special boy and would flourish with the love of a family!
