Jonathon, 16 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Jonathon is an autistic young man who is learning to manage his emotions and cope with his trauma. After being neglected by his biological parents, he was placed in foster care. He has faced challenges such as hospitalization and bullying at school. However, he is currently thriving and is motivated to succeed in school. Jonathon loves to build, particularly with Legos. He has a kind heart and just wants to feel like every other kid his age.

Jonathon has been diligently working towards his goals in therapy and is excited to be making progress. One of the ways he copes is through his love for Legos. Although he doesn’t have a lot of Lego sets and has never tackled a particularly challenging one, building with them offers him a therapeutic outlet. When he gets lost in the process of creating, it helps him work through his trauma in a meaningful way. He would be thrilled to get this cool Corvette Lego set, keeping his hands busy and focusing on something he loves!
