HARLINGEN, Texas (KVEO) — Meet Nicholas, 16, our child of the week.
Nicholas loves to be outdoors and really enjoys swimming.
He enjoys all types of foods. His favorite snacks are Hot Cheetos and chocolates.
One of Nicholas’ favorite things to do is spend time outside going on outings, as he likes to see the various scenery on his travels. When it comes to television and animals, Nicholas can watch animal planet all day if given the opportunity.
Nicholas is learning sign language and is able to communicate through his tablet.
Most importantly, Nicholas is seeking a loving future family, who will be able to care for him long term and understand his needs.
