TJ, 1 year old, OH

Wish submitted by:

TJ is a sweet, energetic boy who loves being outside and spending time playing with his older siblings. He enjoys simple things—running, laughing, and being part of his family. Right now, TJ and his family are facing a very difficult transition. After living with their grandmother, the family has been asked to leave and is unable to take many of their belongings with them. As they prepare to enter a shelter, TJ is experiencing a big change in his daily life and routine. Despite these challenges, TJ continues to show resilience and a positive spirit. With support, TJ can continue to enjoy being a child while his family works toward a more stable future.

TJ would love the chance to create his very first Build-A-Bear. Having his own special stuffed animal would give him comfort and something to hold onto when things feel new or different. It would also encourage his imagination and play, giving him a fun companion to take with him through his day and on new adventures. This experience would help TJ make happy memories while creating something meaningful that helps him feel safe and supported.
