A Place to Call Home: Meet Jimmie

The St. Louis Zoo has a special spot for the bug lovers in your family! Anthony Slaughter goes exploring with his new friend in today’s A Place to Call Home.

ST. LOUIS — Jimmie is an intelligent, creative 9-year-old boy. He is a deep thinker, friendly and very empathetic.

He loves to be outside. One of Jimmie’s favorite activities is riding his scooter and go-kart.

But his true love — bugs! He likes to spend time in the yard collecting insects. He feels like he’s caring for them by providing them with a home.

It’s no surprise that Jimmie’s favorite subject in school is science. He also likes math. When he grows up, he wants to be a veterinarian or a scientist.

Jimmy also has a little wish. He would like to spend the day at Incredible Pizza. If you would like to learn more about becoming part of Jimmy’s life or granting his little wish, please call the Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition at 1-800-FOSTER 3.

A special thank you to the St. Louis Zoo! Check out all of their summer fun and upcoming events!
