Diego, 3 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING

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 has the unwavering support of his dedicated family and compassionate support team, yet he still faces challenges, especially on those cold nights at home. The brisk chill in his living environment increases the risk of him catching a cold. What would truly make a difference for Diego is a warm and cozy pair of pajamas—perhaps adorned with playful dinosaurs or fierce sharks. Such pajamas would not only keep him snug and comfortable but also bring a smile to his face, brightening his spirit during these tough times.
