Matthew, 11 years old, ME

Wish submitted by:

Matthew 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.

When Matthew was in the hospital, he developed a wide range of sensory coping skills. One strategy that helped him calm down and sleep was listening to music. This portable speaker is a happy compromise as it plays audiobooks, music, and sleep sounds. He will be so thankful to have this speaker and be able to relax.
