Thomas, 7 years old

Wish submitted by:

Thomas is a loving young boy whose world has recently turned upside down. His family is receiving support from the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). He is doing his best to cope with all the transitions he and his mother are experiencing. Although Thomas has multiple developmental disabilities, he views these more as abilities. He loves dinosaurs and enjoys hunting for bugs outside. He is a picky eater but is making a concerted effort to try new foods.

Thomas and his mother had to leave their home due to an unsafe situation. Although they are safe, Thomas had to leave everything behind. Financially his mother cannot afford to replace some of Thomas's favorite toys, and most valuable items. Being able to purchase some of his favorite beloved toys will bring him a sense of familiarity and peace. He is looking forward to picking out a few learning toys that will him develop skills, openly communicate and create social interactions.
