Jason, 12 years old, NJ |

Wish submitted by:

Jason is a severely malnourished young boy who has suffered the most horrific abuse one can think of. He is very fearful and skittish around people and doesn't trust anyone. Jason does not know what he likes, and his hobbies are because he was sheltered from others and not allowed to do anything.

Jason's caseworker is requesting a wish on his behalf. Jason is so traumatized by the abuse he endured that he struggles to talk to anyone and is trying to deal with his new reality and understanding that he is safe now. Jason's healing will take a long time, and he may not be up to doing what boys his age typically do. A tablet would be something that would help Jason have something fun and be educational, as he is behind grade level as well. Jason has not had a Christmas in years, and this would be an amazing gift!
