Jax, 8 years old, NJ | 3 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 06/19

Wish submitted by:

Jax is a sweet boy whose smile lights up the room. Like most children his age, he loves Paw Patrol, Cocomelon, and Sesame Street. However, Jax is different because he has been diagnosed with autism, a sensory disorder, and a speech delay. For him, every day is a struggle to find ways to communicate with his family in a way they can understand. Jax experienced a breakthrough when he spoke his first word at the age of five; his first word was "mama."

Jax’s birthday is coming up, and he is very excited to celebrate this special day. Jax is a remarkable child with autism who has made great progress in learning daily skills, such as cleaning up after meals and using sign language to communicate with his loved ones. This year, he is really looking forward to a special birthday outing. He would love to spend the day at Great Wolf Lodge, where he can enjoy the water park and have fun with his mom, dad, and favorite cousin. This trip would bring him so much joy, laughter, and special time with the people he loves most. Jax has a close relationship with his dad, and this experience would give them all a chance to bond and create lasting memories together. We are also planning a fun-filled weekend to celebrate his birthday, making it an unforgettable time for Jax and his family while honoring how far he has come.
