Mason L, 2 years old, IN |

Wish submitted by:

Mason is a bright, stinking-cute little one whose big blue eyes could melt anyone on the spot. Despite his young age, he’s already moved to more foster homes than any child should, and those changes have left their mark. He was recently welcomed into the home of a family friend, where two children are eager to make him feel included. The transition has been tough for him. When the world feels too loud or too big, he becomes overstimulated and cries and screams. But even in those hard moments, his sweet spirit shines through. He is resilient, tender-hearted, and so incredibly lovable—truly a little boy worth every bit of the care being poured into him.

Mason is a sweet, sensitive little one who feels the world a little louder and a little bigger than most. Because he’s moved several times in foster care, new places, new people, and new routines can feel overwhelming. When things get too noisy or too busy, he can become overstimulated and will cry or scream—not because he’s upset with anyone, but because his body is telling him it’s just too much. Noise-canceling headphones would help him feel safe when the world gets loud. They would soften sudden sounds, lower the chaos around him, and give him a sense of calm. With those headphones, he could settle more easily in his new home, join in playing with the other children, and feel in control of his little world again. For a child who has been through so much, something as simple as quiet can be a huge comfort.
