Wish submitted by:

Tucker is a remarkable young man who is autistic and nonverbal and has faced immense challenges in his life. After being struck by a car as a teenager a near-fatal accident that left him with broken bones and the need for physical therapy, Tucker's life changed dramatically. He communicates using a device and continues to grapple with lifting items. Tucker loves fishing, dancing, and upbeat music. He lives with his elderly mother, who is 72 and battling health issues, relying on a home health aide for assistance. Their low household income has made life increasingly difficult since the heartbreaking losses of Tucker's father and sister. His mother lives in fear of leaving her disabled son without support, a worry that deeply weighs on her heart. Yet, through the pain and struggle, Tucker’s spirit shines bright, a testament to the strength of resilience in the face of life’s harshest trials

Tucker is a resilient young man navigating the challenges of everyday life. He is preparing to move to a new home next month, and a dresser would be beneficial for Tucker, providing a designated space to keep his clothes organized in his new bedroom. As an autistic individual, Tucker experiences heightened anxiety when confronted with unfamiliar environments. Having a dresser would not only help him easily locate his essentials but also create a sense of normalcy and comfort in his new space.
