Jo Jo is a great young man who lives with his parents. They moved here from Jamaica and are struggling to make ends meet. Jo Jo faces challenges because he has autism and other disabilities. He finds reading and math tough but is working hard to learn important everyday skills. Right now, he's trying to master things like cleaning, getting dressed, and taking care of himself. He is also learning how to shop by himself, cross streets safely, and pick the right clothes for different weather. His behavior therapist says he is sweet, loving, and very determined to do his best. Jo Jo loves Disney, especially Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and enjoys watching "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" on YouTube. Despite the challenges he faces, his story shows hope and strength as he works to grow and thrive in life.

Jo Jo is truly an exceptional young autistic man who brings joy to everyone around him in his own unique way. Having autism along with multiple disorders, it’s been a little challenging for him with socializing. Jo Jo's love for Mickey Mouse is not just about a character; it represents comfort, happiness, and a connection to the magical world of Disney that resonates deeply with him. Wearing a Mickey Mouse hoodie would mean the world to Jo Jo. It would provide him with a sense of security and warmth, as well as a tangible reminder of the characters and stories that inspire him. This hoodie would not only keep him cozy but also play a significant role in boosting his confidence and self-expression.
