Trey, 4 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Trey was found by a good samaritan after he wandered from his biological family's home as a young preschooler. Being autistic and nonverbal, sweet Trey loves to explore the big world around him, but sometimes that world is scary and changing without warning. Snuggling with someone who cares is one of the only things that soothes and calms his little mind.

Trey is a sweet and affectionate boy with autism who is nonverbal. He craves soothing sensory experiences but often finds himself wandering outside or aimlessly exploring his home, which can put him in danger. Despite having gone years without autism services, Trey has a love for cozy spaces and enjoys warm embraces from those around him. To help him feel safe and supported, a sensory pea pod chair could be a wonderful addition to his environment. This chair will provide him with the comforting sensation of a hug, allowing him to regulate his emotions in a secure manner, without the need to seek hugs from strangers. Plus, it will offer much-needed mental respite for his foster mom, who tirelessly cares for him around the clock.
