Gunner, 6 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Gunner is a bright and creative kid who brings joy to everyone around him. He loves art, music, and computers, spending his free time drawing and singing, which are his favorite ways to express himself. What makes Gunner special is his kindness and gentle nature, along with his infectious laughter. He values his independence and feels most himself when he has space to be. Gunner is facing a tough time. He recently reunited with his mom, and they are living in a shelter. This situation is challenging for him, especially since he is autistic and sensitive to his surroundings. Despite this, Gunner approaches each day with warmth and laughter, trying his best to stay grounded and hopeful even when things are hard.

Gunner is a kind and gentle boy who was recently reunited with his mom. Even though they are living in a shelter, he continues to bring joy through his laughter and creativity. With limited space and resources, one of the few bright moments for Gunner and his mom is going grocery shopping together. This outing allows them to bond and select nutritious food that meets Gunner’s needs, especially since he is autistic and has specific food preferences. With government assistance currently on pause, Gunner and his mom could really use help with groceries.
