Mikey is a loving boy who lives with his dad and older sister. He is unique in that he is autistic and non-verbal, which adds to the depth of his character. Tragically, Mikey’s mom can no longer see him and his sister due to her abusive behavior. She has been labeled unfit after a heartbreaking incident where she left Mikey and his sister alone in a park following an argument with their dad. Both Mikey and his older sister have suffered physical abuse at her hands, and there were times when they went without food. Now that their dad has custody, he faces immense challenges in making ends meet while providing for his two beloved children. Mikey has a passion for puzzles and enjoys spending quality time with his family. He also loves counting games, which bring him joy and help him connect with those around him. Your support could make a meaningful difference in their lives and help this loving family heal from their past.

Mikey has autism and doesn't speak, but he loves to learn. His behavior analyst wants his dad to get a feelings chart to help him express his emotions. This chart will use signs and pictures, especially during fun activities like building snowmen and making snow angels. It will help his family understand how he feels, especially when he gets frustrated. This tool will make his experiences better and support his adventurous spirit.
