A weighted vest for Daniel to help him focus and feel more regulated
Daniel, 17 years old
Wish submitted by:
Wendy's Wonderful KidsDaniel is an amazing person who loves being around others. He enjoys when someone reads to him. Although he lived in residential care for several years and hasn't seen his biological family in some time, he remains incredibly resilient. Daniel has moved in with a traditional foster family again and is working on building connections. His favorite activity is making them laugh by telling jokes and making silly faces. If there's a camera nearby, he eagerly jumps in front of it, asking for pictures and videos. He loves spending time outdoors, exploring the woods, and splashing in creeks and puddles.
Daniel really benefits from sensory input. Wearing a weighted vest has made a big difference in his school experience by helping him stay focused, attentive, and regulated. He uses it every day and thinks it has really improved how well he can function. He's hoping to get a similar vest for home to help him feel good and behave well overall.
