Keeping Sterling Safe

Sterling is an active, funny, enthusiastic, and animated 11 year old boy who loves to be on the move! He enjoys all things Halloween and can't wait for fall! He also enjoys swimming and long car rides. He is currently learning in a home environment and making great progress in all areas including academics. 


Sterling is a bit adventurous and has gotten himself into some dangerous situations. He has eloped from the house twice, once making it onto the roof where he was found standing in a gutter waiting for help. His love for water play has accidentally caused massive water damage to the family home twice.


As Sterling has grown he has learned how to open the home’s existing child locks and can reach the block door locks, creating unsafe access to water and the outdoors. His family applied to the Love Fund for assistance with new devices to keep Sterling from unsafe situations. The new bed alarm will alert his parents when he gets out of bed at night. The fingerprint door locks will keep him from entering rooms with water access. Keypad locks for entry doors will ensure that he cannot exit the home alone. Thank you for helping keep Sterling safe at home and lowering the risk of him getting lost in the community or harming himself.
