Wish submitted by:

Shawn is a wonderful young man who, despite struggling with the lasting effects of abuse and neglect, has a bright and caring spirit. With many special needs, he requires a high level of care and attention, but he thrives when he is part of a loving family. Shawn enjoys working on fixing things and finding satisfaction in hands-on activities. He has a fondness for Chick-fil-A and loves listening to music in his downtime. Driven by his passion for helping others, Shawn aspires to become a teacher someday, eager to make a positive impact in the lives of those around him.

**Today only, wishes that have been waiting longer than 30 days to be granted are just $25!** Shawn is hoping to get a full-size mattress so that he can set up his new bed. He has outgrown his twin bed and needs more space to stretch out and get a good night's sleep. He won't be able to set up the bed until he receives the mattress, and he is really excited about it. Unfortunately, he can't afford a new mattress on his own. Getting the new mattress will bring Shawn some much-needed calming and peaceful rest.
