Wish submitted by:

Ra’Shawn is a bright and intelligent young man in foster care who is naturally curious and enjoys learning about the world around him. He has a great sense of humor and often makes others smile with his funny personality. Ra’Shawn has autism, and he does best when he can explore his interests and take part in activities that keep him engaged. He is very active and enjoys moving, playing, and staying busy throughout the day. His intelligence, humor, and energy make him a joy to be around. Ra’Shawn’s unique way of seeing the world helps him connect with others and build meaningful relationships with the people who know him.

A sensory swing would give Ra’Shawn a safe and fun way to meet his sensory needs and help him feel calm. As an active child with autism, the gentle motion of swinging can help him relax, focus, and feel more regulated. It would also give him a healthy way to move his body and burn off energy in a positive way. While using the swing, he can build balance, coordination, and body awareness, and also enjoy independent play. When Ra’Shawn feels overwhelmed, the swing can be a calming space where he can settle down and feel more in control. Overall, it would support his daily well-being and give him a helpful tool to manage his emotions.
