Diego, 4 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Diego, who has autism-related challenges sometimes, has trouble controlling his emotions, leading to tears or hitting due to sensory sensitivities. His family is committed to supporting him and is learning how to best care for him despite their low income. Diego loves hugs, puzzles, stacking toys, playground trips, and his favorite fruits. With continued support, they are hopeful for a brighter future together.

Diego is an incredible young boy, always busy and full of adventure. He attends therapy regularly to help him navigate the challenges of autism. At times, he experiences frustration and has tantrums when he struggles to verbalize his needs. To support him, Diego’s mom is actively seeking opportunities to foster positive relationships with kids his age. Playing at a neighborhood park has been recommended as a wonderful outlet for a child like Diego. To ensure he enjoys his day out, it's important for him to wear comfortable, loose-fitting shorts that allow him to move freely and fully embrace the joy of play.
