Dreamcatchers for Abused Children is a non-profit organization devoted to reform of abused children. According to their website, their main goal is to \u201ceducate the public on all aspects of child abuse such as symptoms, intervention, prevention, statistics, reporting, and helping victims locate the proper resources necessary to achieve a full recovery.\u201d\n

Recently, the organization shared a heartbreaking list written by a child from Oklahoma who ended up in the foster system after enduring severe abuse from both his parents who were heavy alcoholics. The boy never experienced love or the joys a childhood normally brings. All he ever knew was negligence and starvation.\n

Years went by before a neighbor noticed that horrible things were taking place in the boy\u2019s home and decided to alert social services.\n

\n
$\"\"$ \n\n
Once police intervened, the boy was taken to the\u00a0Dreamcatchers for Abused Children\u00a0organization who made sure the little one ends in a new and loving home.\n
Finally, when the organization found the perfect family and shared the great news with the boy, he made a wish list on which he included all the things he wanted in his new forever home.\n
Needless to say, the list melted many people\u2019s hearts. Many took their time to comment how the things on the list are not something a child should dream of because they should have them automatically as most of them are just basic needs.\n
This is the list:\n
\u201cThings I want in my family:
\nI want food and water.
\nDon\u2019t hit on me.
\nA house with running water and lights.
\nI want love.
\nMom and dad don\u2019t fight.
\nI want no drugs.
\nDon\u2019t kill my pets.
\nHelp with school.
\nNice clean clothes.
\nNo lice. No bug in house.
\nClean house.
\nClean bed with covers.
\nDon\u2019t sell my toys.
\nTreated fair.
\nDon\u2019t get drunk.
\nTv in house.
\nLet me keep my school stuff.
\nNice shoes.
\nMy own comb soap. Nice house and safe and heater coat.
\nToothbrush.\u201d\n
This list is a reminder that we should never take the things we have for granted.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
