Enrique, 5 years old, AZ | 29 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Enrique is a bright and energetic boy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He is currently placed with his three siblings in the loving care of their grandparents. This is the second time Enrique, and his siblings have been in care within the past four years, but Enrique continues to show remarkable resilience and growth. Recently diagnosed with autism, Enrique attends a specialized academy where he’s thriving in an environment tailored to his learning needs. He’s curious, expressive, and benefits from structure and support as he navigates new experiences. While Enrique can have big feelings that sometimes lead to challenging behaviors, those who know him best see the warmth, humor, and love he shares freely. His kind spirit and determination shine through in all he does.

As summer approaches, Enrique would really like a gift card so he could pick out some summer clothes. This would allow him to choose clothes that he likes and that fit him well, such as shorts, t-shirts, swimsuits, and sandals. Being able to pick out his own clothes would help him feel comfortable and confident during the summer and be ready for summer activities. This gift would be greatly appreciated. This is wish 1 of 2.
