Wilder, 8 years old, MO

Wish submitted by:

Wilder is quiet and thoughtful. He enjoys reading and learning. He prefers calm activities where he can focus, use his imagination, and explore new ideas. Books are one of his favorite ways to learn about the world and discover new interests. He has also developed a love for video games, enjoying the problem-solving, creativity, and sense of accomplishment they bring. Wilder has gone through a very difficult time after losing his parents in a car accident. It has been a major change for him, and he is still working through a lot at a young age. He now lives with his aunt and his siblings, where he is surrounded by love and support as they adjust to this new chapter together. Even through hardship, Wilder shows quiet strength and resilience. With a stable home, caring family, and the things he enjoys—like reading and gaming—he continues to grow, learn, and find comfort in everyday life.

Wilder wishes for a mattress to go with his bunk bed so he and his older brother can comfortably share a room while still having their own sleeping spaces. After the passing of their parents, being close to his brother brings Wilder a strong sense of comfort, safety, and stability, especially at night. Having the right mattress would help complete the bunk bed setup and ensure he has a soft, supportive place to rest each night. It would make their shared room feel more complete, comfortable, and secure for both boys.
