Wish submitted by:

Gavin is a wonderful young man. Right now, he and his sister are living with a family friend while their parents are being detained. They’ve been going through a tough time, relying on this friend who doesn’t have a lot of money. Gavin has some challenges, including a learning disability, autism, and diabetes, but he has a gentle and joyful spirit. He might be shy at first, but once you get to know him, his loving and playful side shines through. Gavin loves spending time with his family and enjoys activities like building with blocks, playing soccer, and working with magnetic toys and educational games. These things help him be creative and learn while having fun. His story is one of strength and hope.

Gavin has had a tough year after being separated from his parents. He and his sister had to move in with a family friend, and since Gavin is autistic, he struggles with sudden changes. This change has led to some challenging behaviors, especially when he feels angry or bored. To help lift his spirits, his guardian wants to take him on a birthday outing to distract him from everything that's happening. Gavin needs a warm jacket to wear with his Adidas pants so he stays comfortable while having fun with his friends. He loves adventures, and this outing will make his day special!
