Santiago, 12 years old, NY | NEEDED BY 11/28

Wish submitted by:

Santiago is a joyful boy from Venezuela who lives with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and chronic respiratory difficulties. Since arriving in the United States, he and his mother have been living in a shelter. Santiago depends on his mom for all of his care, yet he lights up every room with his smile and gentle spirit. He has faced many challenges but continues to inspire everyone around him with his courage and warmth.

There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Santiago with an extra surprise to open on their special day. Although their celebrations may look different this year, it will remind them that they are valued and remembered on this important occasion!
