Mateo, 9 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Mateo is interested in cars and reading. Both he and his younger brother have endured significant trauma, as they witnessed domestic violence between their parents, which ultimately resulted in their placement in foster care. Their mother has since regained custody. Mateo is now engaged in therapy and is making good progress toward his treatment goals.

Mateo is in need of new clothes as his mom is currently facing financial difficulties. He's been growing quickly and has outgrown many of his existing outfits. Having some new, well-fitting clothes would make a big difference for him, helping to improve his self-image and boost his confidence during this challenging time. This is wish 1 of 2.
