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 is a happy boy with autism who loves playing outside. He sometimes feels overwhelmed in new places but enjoys engaging activities like water play. As it gets warmer, he looks forward to splashing around with his older sister. He would love this water table in the backyard, which would make their outdoor time even more fun. His family is dedicated to supporting him and ensuring he has wonderful experiences, full of love and adventure.
