Wilder, 8 years old, MO | 21 DAYS WAITING

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 would like zippered bedding because it would make it easier for him to keep his bed neat and comfortable each day. The simple zipper design would help him make his bed quickly and on his own without feeling frustrated or overwhelmed. Having something easy to manage would help Wilder feel more confident and stick to a daily routine, especially when small successes matter a lot. It would also help keep his shared space with his brother clean and organized.
