Blake, 6 years old, PA

Wish submitted by:

Blake is an energetic, free-spirited boy whose enthusiasm and wonderful sense of humor are truly contagious. He loves making others laugh, playing tag, riding his bike, and spending time outdoors. Blake has Autism and ADHD and has faced many challenges at school, but this year he started in a new classroom and has been thriving. In just five years, he has overcome challenges that many adults could hardly imagine, yet he continues to show incredible resilience, joy, and determination. His family is incredibly proud of the progress he has made and would love to celebrate his hard work with something that brings him the same happiness he brings to others.

Blake has recently been diagnosed with both autism and ADHD, and an iPad would serve as a valuable tool to support his development and daily routines. It will be used as an educational device to help him build skills through engaging, interactive programs tailored to his needs. Plus, having his own device will provide comfort and structure during waiting periods, such as long car rides or while at doctor and therapy appointments. Access to appropriate games and videos will help him stay calm, focused, and occupied in these situations.
