Gavin, 12 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Gavin is a wonderful young man. Right now, he and his sister are living with a family friend while their parents are being detained. They’ve been going through a tough time, relying on this friend who doesn’t have a lot of money. Gavin has some challenges, including a learning disability, autism, and diabetes, but he has a gentle and joyful spirit. He might be shy at first, but once you get to know him, his loving and playful side shines through. Gavin loves spending time with his family and enjoys activities like building with blocks, playing soccer, and working with magnetic toys and educational games. These things help him be creative and learn while having fun. His story is one of strength and hope.

Gavin is in urgent need of warm sweatpants. When he and his sister were removed from their homes, they arrived at a family friend's house wearing only their bedtime clothes. Currently, neither child has access to their belongings and desperately requires suitable clothing. Gavin has been relying on hand-me-downs, but what he truly needs are sweatpants that fit him well. These sweatpants are not just about warmth; they represent comfort and security for Gavin during a challenging time in his young life. Providing him with proper clothing would not only help him feel more at ease but also restore a sense of normalcy amidst the turmoil he's facing.
