Earnest, 1 year old, TX

Wish submitted by:

Earnest is a great baby who is always smiling and giggling. He has been diagnosed with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (XALD), a genetic disorder that affects the brain. Ernest requires quite a bit of care and loves just being cuddled and rocked. He is very happy having his foster family around him. He loves music and being sung to. He also enjoys story time.

Earnest has a strong desire for a dinosaur toy. This gift would allow him to engage in imaginative play, learn about dinosaurs, and create fun stories and adventures. In foster care, having a toy that reflects his interests helps him feel safe, supported, and valued, providing a sense of stability and ownership. Playing with a dinosaur toy offers him a joyful outlet for curiosity and creativity, helping him feel comforted and emotionally supported during this special time.
