[Tyrone](https://heartgallerynorthtexas.org/?page=4) is an incredible 11-year-old with a heart full of hope and dreams of becoming an NFL star. His unwavering faith in finding a loving family is inspiring. Every night, Tyrone prays, “Father God, all I want is for you to bless me with a perfect family.” This young man, who’s been in foster care for four years, is ready to find his forever home—a family that believes in him, supports his ambitions, and shares in his faith.

Recently, Tyrone had [an extraordinary experience](https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/outreach/wednesdays-child/parents-that-always-believe-in-me-wednesdays-child-11-year-old-tyrone-seeks-family-to-help-keep-nfl-dream-alive/287-6fe47e2d-47db-463b-b461-d3218115d201?fbclid=IwY2xjawF-AIhleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHS4skjn2axybxEBYWUZlNNltJqOz_uYPlohkZU3S6EZ2nZfwarkVfl_Z_Q_aem_V9E3nbJg5I7NZ3I5m9yRiw) with the TCU Horned Frogs. Thanks to the generosity of TCU and TCU Football, he spent a memorable day working out with TCU running back Trent Battle. The coaching staff also gave Tyrone advice, encouraging him to set his sights on college and work toward his goals. Tyrone left with a message for his new friend, Trent:

“You rock, Trent. I believe in you! Go Frogs!”

The day made Tyrone feel valued and celebrated, and we’re grateful to TCU for their kindness.
