Dean, 4 years old

Wish submitted by:

Dean is an energetic child who loves to play. His passions include cars, monster trucks, and cats! He enjoys having the full attention of his caregivers and being involved in everything they're doing. Always ready for an adventure, Dean is currently working on feeling safe in his caregivers' home. He was removed from his previous home due to neglect, which has led him to develop a significant distrust of adults. As a result, Dean needs constant reassurance from his caregivers. Communication is one of the biggest challenges for Dean and his family at this time. He looks up to his foster brother and continuously tries to keep up with him and learn from him. It's been a true blessing to witness the bond forming between them.

Dean loves everything about cars, especially spending time in the garage tinkering with them alongside his caregiver. He is a great helper, often carrying tools around and assisting whenever he can – he’s an excellent light holder! Dean enjoys learning, so this interactive truck will help him develop his fine motor skills and logical thinking by allowing him to see how things work. The truck also makes noise and has lights, which capture his attention. Dean came with no toys or personal belongings, so his caregivers are looking to start building a collection of toys that he can call his own.
