Wish submitted by:

Mikey is a loving boy who lives with his dad and older sister. Unique in his autism and non-verbal communication, he adds a rich depth to their family dynamic. Mikey has a passion for puzzles and enjoys spending quality time with his sister and dad. Counting games bring him joy and help him forge connections with those around him. Unfortunately, their mother can no longer be part of their lives due to the poor choices she has made. Now, with custody of his beloved children, their father faces immense challenges as he strives to make ends meet while providing them with a loving home.

Mikey, who has autism and is non-verbal, faces unique challenges when it comes to understanding money management. A Money Management Learning Kit would provide him with essential tools to develop valuable skills in budgeting, saving, and spending. This kit would not only help Mikey grasp these important concepts but also foster his independence and confidence as he learns to navigate the world of personal finance. Supporting him with this learning kit would empower Mikey, allowing him to shine as he engages with these life skills in a fun and accessible way.
