Ethan, 2 years old

Wish submitted by:

Ethan has been in his foster home since he was just two weeks old. He is a loving and adventurous little boy with a creative mind. As a sensory-seeking child, he enjoys exploring the world around him, often putting objects in and out of containers. However, Ethan is developmentally behind due to his diagnosis of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a heart condition identified when he was 20 weeks in the womb. He underwent open heart surgery at three months old, which has significantly impacted his development. Despite these challenges, Ethan began crawling at 13 months and took his first steps at 19 months. To support his growth, he is currently receiving physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), speech therapy, and specialized instruction tailored to his needs.

Ethan is eagerly asking for a play couch, a simple yet transformative addition to his life. This isn't just any piece of furniture; it’s a gateway to a world of imagination and adventure. With this play couch, Ethan will unleash his creativity, building forts that serve as castles, spaceships, or secret hideouts in his mind. Each moment spent exploring this new space will enhance his sensory experiences, encouraging him to engage with the world around him in a vibrant, fulfilling way. By embracing this opportunity for imaginative play, Ethan will not only find joy but also cultivate skills that nurture his growth and exploration.
