Matthew, 11 years old
Wish submitted by:
Woodfords Family ServicesMatthew is clever and a good problem-solver. He likes to put things together and take things apart to see how they operate. He is helpful and a hard worker. He wants to learn how to play an instrument such as a guitar or piano. He loves going to the beach and lake with his foster family. He is very close to his 4 siblings, who he lives with, and wants to learn how to build close friendships.
Matthew has started to look for sensory items like headphones, stress balls, and weighted stuffies to help him cope with sensory issues. However, he doesn't want to stand out in public or school. His foster parents have found a solution to this problem - a weighted hoodie that looks just like a regular sweatshirt. Matthew can wear it without feeling embarrassed and it will provide him with the sensory input he needs.
