Thomas, 7 years old | NEEDED BY 02/07

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 is really excited about spreading some Valentine’s Day cheer by giving cards to all his classmates this year! He’s been working hard to improve his social skills and is getting better at picking up on social cues. Even though he’s a bit shy, he has a big heart and loves connecting with others. By getting these Valentine’s Day cards, he’ll have a fun chance to walk around the classroom and personally hand them out to his friends. This sweet gesture shows just how much he enjoys making new connections and is a great step towards building those special friendships with his peers!
