Wish submitted by:

Mikey is a loving boy who lives with his dad and older sister. He is unique in that he is autistic and non-verbal, which adds to the depth of his character. Tragically, Mikey’s mom can no longer see him and his sister due to her abusive behavior. She has been labeled unfit after a heartbreaking incident where she left Mikey and his sister alone in a park following an argument with their dad. Both Mikey and his older sister have suffered physical abuse at her hands, and there were times when they went without food. Now that their dad has custody, he faces immense challenges in making ends meet while providing for his two beloved children. Mikey has a passion for puzzles and enjoys spending quality time with his family. He also loves counting games, which bring him joy and help him connect with those around him.

Mike is about to celebrate a significant milestone as he leaves the 6th grade, and it’s a moment he truly deserves to shine. As he prepares to walk across the stage to receive his certificates, he wants to look his best in a stylish outfit that reflects all the hard work he has put into his education. He has chosen these Ralph Lauren shorts, which will not only provide him with comfort but also add a touch of sophistication as he proudly steps into this new chapter of his life.
