Jax, 6 years old, NJ | 4 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Jax is a bright, energetic boy who loves anything with wheels—trucks, cars, and especially Hot Wheels. He enjoys spending time lining them up, racing them, and carrying his favorites wherever he goes. Jax is on the autism spectrum and has sensory sensitivities, which can make everyday items like clothing difficult for him. Finding things that feel comfortable is not always easy, and when something doesn’t feel right, it can quickly become overwhelming for him. He has also experienced several transitions while in foster care. With so many changes in a short time, he is working hard to feel safe and settled. During moments of big emotions, some of his belongings can be damaged. Jax is a sweet boy who deserves stability, understanding, and the chance to simply enjoy being a kid and spending time with the things he loves most.

Jax wants basketball-themed zip-up bedding to make his room more comfortable and personal. He’s on the autism spectrum, and simple routines help him feel more confident every day. The zip-up comforter is important because it allows him to “make” his bed easily, which helps him do things on his own and feel proud of his space. Jax loves basketball, so having a bed set that shows that interest would make his room feel special. This bedding would create a calming space for him to relax and enjoy small successes in his daily routine. Plus, he thinks they’re super cool!
