Check out this week’s Foster Kid Friday

Meet Ashley and Martin! This sibling duo deserves a place to call their own! 

Ashely is 9 years old. If you are in need of a master fort builder, look no further! Building a fortress made of pillows and blankets is Ashley’s specialty. Ashley has many passions outside of fort building, including the great outdoors! This water bug loves to be out in the pool where she can feel the calm and coolness of water in her hands. Ashley also loves playing with her baby dolls and with her brother, Martin. 

Martin is 8 years old. Martin is described as the quieter of the two siblings. Most would describe him as a visual and tactile child. He loves when he can hold, and easily manipulate, toys and other items in his hand. Martin is also affectionate and will often ask to hold your hand. His favorite past-time is to get comfortable on the couch and watch his favorite cartoons or a good movie! Martin also loves to help his big sister build forts and enjoy the outdoors. 

These happy, loving kiddos would do best in a family where they are the only children in the home; however, their caseworker will consider all family types. Ashley and Martin require 24-hour supervision and patience. We will only accept inquiries on the sibling pair, as they will be placed together.
