About Braylon
Braylon is the kind of kid who lights up when he’s doing something active—whether it’s shooting hoops with friends, racing through levels of video games, or cracking a joke that gets everyone laughing. He’s full of energy, loves to stay busy, and brings a lively presence to whatever space he’s in. If you ask Braylon about his favorite things, his answers come easily: pizza, the color red, playing video games, and anything involving sports, especially basketball. Weekends are for gaming, hanging out with friends, and spending time with family. Holidays like Christmas are special to him because they bring everyone together, and he enjoys the simple joy of opening presents with the people he cares about.
At school, math is his favorite subject, and after school, you’ll likely find him playing games or finding something to keep him moving. He’s proud of his athletic ability and would love to be a professional gamer someday. He also dreams about visiting Cedar Point to try every roller coaster and has even bigger dreams about being able to travel with family. “Braylon cares about those close to him and can be very sweet when he chooses to be,” says an adult close to him. Braylon describes himself as someone who enjoys talking and staying active. He’s helpful around the house with dishes and cleaning, and though he can be resistant to rules, he also has a softer, caring side that comes through when he feels connected to the people around him.
Braylon needs a patient, attentive family, someone who sees his potential and is committed to helping him grow. A home with two parents who are experienced and trauma informed. He would do best as the only or youngest child in the home. Braylon is used to living in urban environments and would like to continue to do so. A family that can offer consistent support, firm boundaries, and plenty of opportunities for connection will be well-suited to help him thrive. Most of all, Braylon wants to feel understood and valued for who he is: an energetic, funny, and passionate kid who just wants someone in his corner.
