Isaiah, 5 years old, LA

Wish submitted by:

Isaiah is a nonverbal child who communicates in his own unique ways. He often expresses himself through gestures, facial expressions, and his bright, observant eyes. One of his greatest strengths is his ability to understand routines, follow visual cues, and respond positively to patient, supportive adults who take the time to connect with him. He can be very loving and gentle, showing affection and trust when he feels safe and understood. However, he also struggles with expressing his needs, emotions, and discomfort, which can sometimes lead to frustration or challenges in new or overwhelming environments. Unfortunately, he often lacks some of the necessary resources and basic items that would make his care easier and more successful, making it harder for him to thrive each day.

Isaiah needs clothes. He often lacks the appropriate items to stay comfortable and properly dressed each day. Many of his clothes do not fit him well; they are either too small or too big, making it difficult for him to move comfortably and confidently. Additionally, there are times when he does not have clothing that is suitable for the weather. Having the right clothing is especially important to help him stay regulated, safe, and comfortable throughout the day. Proper clothing would also enable him to participate in school and daily activities without added stress or discomfort. Providing Isaiah with well-fitting, climate-appropriate clothing would significantly improve his daily care, dignity, and overall well-being
