Apple, 5 years old, NJ | NEEDED BY 08/14

Wish submitted by:

Apple is a wonderful young girl who has autism and a seizure disorder. She doesn’t talk a lot, which makes it hard for her to interact with others, but she shows her feelings through her love of music and dance. This is when she really shines with happiness. She lives with her loving single mother and two siblings, who also have autism. Taking care of a home with children who have special needs can be tough, but her mom works very hard to give them all love and support. Recently, Apple started ABA therapy, and she has already made great progress. She is learning important skills like washing dishes, tracing, and managing situations that could overwhelm her. These are important steps toward becoming more independent and confident. Her behavior analyst and therapist are committed to helping her connect with others and navigate the world better.

Apple is getting ready to start a new school year and needs new undergarments that are comfortable and tagless. She has recently had a growth spurt, and not much fits her anymore. Because Apple is autistic, soft, comfortable clothing can help her feel more at ease as she adjusts to her new classroom. A few new undergarments would give Apple the comfort and confidence she needs to relax, focus on learning, and begin building new friendships with her classmates.
