Demarco, 2 years old, MN

Wish submitted by:

Demarco was a preemie newborn twin baby. Dante was born at 30 weeks and under 3 lbs with multiple health concerns. He is doing well in foster care but was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and had a G tube placed to help with growth and feeding challenges. He is not walking yet but is participating in daily therapy appointments. He is working on strength and growth!

Demarco has been with his foster family since birth. He is very bonded and attached to the entire family and struggles being away. During summer, the family camps, and to keep Demarco safe, he needs a travel crib to camp in. This will allow Demarco to travel with his foster family where he feels safe and comfortable and does not have to be separated from them or his brother. He will also use this portable crib when he visits with his birth family as a safe place to sleep. The familiarity with this travel crib will allow him to feel more at home and transition better during nap times on those visits.
