Jax, 6 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Jax is a bright, energetic boy who loves anything with wheels—trucks, cars, and especially Hot Wheels. He enjoys spending time lining them up, racing them, and carrying his favorites wherever he goes. Jax is on the autism spectrum and has sensory sensitivities, which can make everyday items like clothing difficult for him. Finding things that feel comfortable is not always easy, and when something doesn’t feel right, it can quickly become overwhelming for him. He has also experienced several transitions while in foster care. With so many changes in a short time, he is working hard to feel safe and settled. During moments of big emotions, some of his belongings can be damaged. Jax is a sweet boy who deserves stability, understanding, and the chance to simply enjoy being a kid and spending time with the things he loves most.

Jax would really benefit from a 3-pack of dinosaur sweatpants. Because of his sensory needs, he does best with soft, comfortable clothing that feels just right. Sweatpants are easier for him to wear, and having designs he enjoys, like dinosaurs, can make getting dressed less stressful. When he feels comfortable, it helps him stay calmer and more regulated throughout the day.
