Grant Me Hope: 10-year-old foster child Jasper looking for a forever home

(WXXV) — 10-year-old Jasper relies on his faith in god to get through the difficult times. He is looking for a mom and dad to love him.

We spent some time with Jasper. Here’s what he had to say:

“My name is Jasper and I’m in the 3rd grade. These are things I like to do, play, ride my bike outside, play hide and seek, jump on the trampoline, and fish. Some of my favorite games are Roadblock and Minecraft and Fortnight.

“My Paw Paw taught me how to play guitar and he had a beautiful red guitar. I haven’t played it in a long time because I haven’t been playing it at like where my brother lives now. My favorite music is church music because it’s about God. If I could go anywhere in the world it’d be heaven. ‘Cause I can see God. I would ask him what’s gonna happen next.

“I really like when I feel loved, and fun, and happiness. I tell people I care about them ’cause I help them; share with them and let them play with my toys, and I’m kind to them.

“Today I feel grateful for getting someone to adopt me. So I can have a family; brothers and sisters. I can play with them. We can go outside or we can play our video games.

“Adopted means if you’re getting adopted then you’re going to have a new mom and dad, and family. And it’s going to be fun.

“I get sad sometimes but I know God’s gonna take care of me.”
