Caiden, 5 years old, OH |

Wish submitted by:

Caiden is a very sweet and energetic little boy. He has been with his foster mother since his birth, and he has overcome so many challenges. The prenatal drug exposure has really impacted his overall health, development, and functioning. He has a heart condition and therefore, he had heart valve surgery as a baby, He also receives all his nourishment through a G-Tube, due to his autism and sensory issues he cannot eat typically. Caiden is such polite child who always says please and thank you, which is also a huge call for celebration, because he was nonverbal up until age 2 1/2! Caiden's favorite things are Disney/Mickey Mouse, cars/hot wheels tracks, and sensory toys he uses at his specialized Montessori school.

Caiden is absolutely buzzing with excitement for Christmas! He's been chatting nonstop about dinosaurs and race cars, which just shows how far he’s come with his speech—he’s no longer non-verbal and is making requests like a champ! His foster mother is busy getting ready for his adoption, and the whole family is filled with joy and anticipation for the big day ahead. Caiden is going to be over the moon when he gets to open his gifts on Christmas and play with his foster siblings. It’s going to be such a fun and special celebration!
