Jaden, 19 years old

Wish submitted by:

Jaden is special because he is resilient and strong. He is always happy, very personable, and a great support to his mother. Jaden is an only child being raised by a mother who suffers from mental illness. Jaden’s father died by suicide when he was just 10 years old. Jaden has cognitive and communication delays and requires regular assistance in school. These are just minor setbacks for Jaden. Wherever Jaden goes, he lights up a room. School staff and any other person who is in contact with Jaden adores him. Jaden is always eager to help others. He loves to learn, go on school trips, and experience new opportunities.

Jaden loves to play video games. He has been asking for Nintendo Switch since last year. Due to financial difficulty and homelessness, Mom has not been able to afford the gift. Jaden is not able to have play dates with his peers due to constantly moving and lack of transportation. This request for the video game will allow Jaden to connect with friends wherever he is located.
