Diego, 3 years old, NJ |

Wish submitted by:

Diego is a vibrant and friendly young man who lights up any room with his energy. Currently, he receives 20 hours of therapy each week to help him navigate the challenges of autism, including managing tantrums, socialization, and other essential skills. Due to sensory sensitivities, he occasionally experiences sudden tears, head banging, or hitting, which are behaviors he struggles to control. Diego's family is deeply committed to supporting him and is working closely with his support team to help him thrive and better integrate into society. As young parents, they are undertaking specialized training to equip themselves with the tools needed to raise a child with a disability. Despite their low income and the challenges they face, they are determined to provide Diego with the best care possible. At his core, Diego is a charming young man who loves to share hugs, play with puzzles, stack toys, enjoy trips to the playground, and savor his favorite fruits. With continued support and understanding, Diego and his family are on a journey filled with hope and love, striving for a brighter future together.

Diego would love to receive a fidget tabletop sensory lava toy this holiday. This gift would create a fun space for him to explore and enjoy sensory play. It would not only be entertaining but also help him relax and focus. The satisfying sensations from the toy would support his growth and development in a playful way.
