Obed, 10 years old

Wish submitted by:

Obed is a very bright boy who has autism and a remarkable talent for numbers. He is an exceptional math wizard and takes great pride in his math and map-reading abilities. His foster mom says she has never gotten lost while driving with Obed; he always corrects her if she misses a turn. He enjoys spending time with his cousins and friends and is always on the lookout for fun activities. Obed likes riding his bike, jumping on the trampoline, reading to his siblings, and playing gaga ball.

Obed has been to Orlando before, but he has never been to Disney World. This year, his foster mom hopes to change that. As a single mother, she struggles to justify the extra expenses, but she knows that a trip to Disney would mean the world to him. Obed has been talking about it for months; he has many friends who share stories about their trips to Disney, and he longs for a visit of his own. This trip would make Obed feel special and loved, fulfilling a long-time wish of his.
