Mikey, 11 years old, NJ | NEEDED BY 06/12

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.

Mikey is getting ready to celebrate a big milestone as he graduates from 6th grade! He has worked very hard in school and deserves to feel proud of all he has accomplished. As he prepares to walk across the stage and receive his certificate, he would love to have a nice outfit to wear for this special day. A Ralph Lauren top would help Mikey feel confident, comfortable, and dressed up for the occasion. This graduation is an important moment in his life, and having something special to wear would make the day even more memorable for him.
