Max, 10 years old, KS

Wish submitted by:

Max marches to the beat of his own drum and isn't afraid to be different. He thinks outside the box, asks unusual or bizarre questions, wears Christmas sweaters on Halloween, and occasionally leaves people scratching their heads. He is truly special. Max has a passion for books, animals, gaming, music, and a genuine love for pizza! At times, he feels sad about his younger sibling getting the attention, his dad not being part of his life, and not liking his mom's boyfriend, yet he always tries to make the best of every situation. When he enters school in the mornings with his hoodie pulled over his head, he's probably dealing with something that he doesn't like. Usually, all it takes is a kind word and some appreciation to bring him back to a better state.

Max treasures his three meals a day and thrives on routine. When his schedule gets disrupted, it throws him off balance, and he struggles to find his footing until things return to normal. That’s just the way he operates. The recent SNAP halt may disrupt this balance, so we’re doing everything we can to assist him. After all, a well-fed Max is a happy Max.
