Wish submitted by:

Jeremiah is a kind and loving young man living in relative care. He truly comes alive when he’s engaging in his favorite activities—playing games and watching videos. With a vivid imagination, he has a special passion for cars, Superman, and Batman. Whether he’s creating stories or adventures with these characters or acting them out during playtime, Jeremiah shows just how creative and thoughtful he can be. As someone with autism, Jeremiah sometimes finds it challenging to make friends and has some academic delays. However, gaming has become an essential part of his life, serving as a meaningful way for him to connect with the world and others around him. Through games, he can share his interests, communicate comfortably, and experience the joy of being part of a community. For Jeremiah, gaming is more than just a pastime; it’s a vital bridge that helps him build relationships and express the unique creativity that defines him.

Jeremiah was really happy when he got a tablet, which helped him play fun games and improve his reading. It became an important part of his daily life, bringing him joy and confidence. However, during a recent move, Jeremiah lost his tablet, which made him very sad. The move was already tough, and losing something meaningful has affected his mood. He feels let down by the adults who were supposed to help him. Getting Jeremiah a new tablet would be great for him. It would bring comfort and normalcy back into his life, boost his spirits, and give him a tool for learning and fun. It would show him that he is cared for and help him regain his confidence and happiness.
