Augusta, GA (WRDW/WAGT) – Thousands of children in Georgia don’t have a family to call their own.

News 12 has launched a partnership with non-profit organization Grant Me Hope. Grant Me Hope works to find a home for older children in foster care.

Today I would like to introduce Eric.

Born in 2006, Eric is a polite and polite teenager who loves cooking, listening to anime music, drawing, coloring, hiking, walking and swimming.

I also enjoy playing board games, basketball and video games, watching action movies, comedies, cartoon shows and soccer and basketball games. The 49ers and Lakers are his favorite teams.

Eric gets good grades in school and gets along well with other children. Eric enjoys learning about science and having free time.

After graduating from high school, Eric plans to get a job and save money.

“I like engines like electronics,” he said. “I can build pretty good stuff. I built a robot a while ago.”

Eric needs a loving adoptive family to give him the attention, support, encouragement, structure and nurturing environment he needs to continue to grow and reach his goals.

His family also needs to support his desire to maintain a relationship with his separately planned brother.
