Veronica, 9 years old, NJ | 6 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Veronica is a gentle and bright young girl who enjoys spending time outdoors. She loves going to the beach, playing at the park, and being outside in nature. She is naturally introverted and may take time to warm up in new settings, but she plays well with others and enjoys positive interactions once she feels comfortable. Veronica is autistic and thrives in supportive environments where she feels safe and understood. She is a kind and thoughtful child who benefits from patience, encouragement, and opportunities to engage at her own pace. Veronica currently lives with her grandmother.

Veronica would love to have a dresser. This request is especially meaningful, as it reflects her growing desire for independence and ownership of her own space. Having a dresser would provide Veronica with the structure and organization that are very important for her as a child on the autism spectrum. A designated place for her clothing would help her build consistent daily routines, making it easier for her to find, put away, and care for her belongings. These small daily successes can help build her confidence and support her independence. A dresser would also help reduce clutter in her room, creating a calmer and more predictable environment. This extra space in her room would allow her to safely play, relax, and engage in activities that support her growth and development.
