Michael, Age 14

Releasing some energy is a breeze for Michael when he’s on his scooter or skateboard! His perfect day involves immersing himself in a zoo adventure!

Spiderman swings high as his favorite superhero, and red tops the list for his most adored color. If he could choose a superpower, invisibility would be Michael’s top pick. Those who know him best describe him as kind, generous, polite, and loving. Looking ahead, Michael harbors dreams of owning a horse ranch in the future.

Zodicus, Age 9

Zodicus, who likes to go by Zodi, is a unique child who loves to stay active! “Really good on his feet” is the perfect way to describe this spry child, who is fond of playing soccer and basketball. Along with sports, Zodi is always ready to jump on the trampoline or zoom around on his bike and scooter. This growing boy has never encountered a taco that he didn’t want to eat quickly, and he thinks invisibility sounds like a rad power to have. Anything can be a drum for this fellow, who is also interested in learning guitar. Spiderman is the best hero in Zodi’s eyes, and he also loves cats and zebras. Described as a funny, snuggly, and loving person, he adores being in the spotlight of attention. Zodi enjoys socializing with adults and peers. When asked about the future, this spirited child responded that he wants to build houses. He also speaks about being a dad and having kids of his own.
