Jax, 7 years old

Wish submitted by:

Jax is a sweet boy whose smile lights up the room. Like most children his age, he loves Paw Patrol, Cocomelon, and Sesame Street. However, Jax is different because he has been diagnosed with autism, a sensory disorder, and a speech delay. For him, every day is a struggle to find ways to communicate with his family in a way they can understand. Jax experienced a breakthrough when he spoke his first word at the age of five; his first word was "mama."

Jax is a very picky eater, and like many children on the autism spectrum, it can be quite a challenge for him to break free from his routine and eat a nutritious diet. Currently, his meals consist solely of chicken nuggets and french fries, which he loves. His parents wish they could provide him with a more varied diet, but they find comfort in knowing that his favorite meal brings him joy throughout the week. Unfortunately, Jax and his family are facing significant financial struggles. They are behind on their bills, recently had their car repossessed, and are now facing eviction. Despite these overwhelming obstacles, Jax's parents remain committed to staying positive. They do everything in their power to ensure that Jax receives the love and support he needs to thrive, proving that even in tough times, family and hope can make a difference.
