Edwardo, 14 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Edwardo is a 14-year-old autistic Hispanic male student that likes to play video games for comfort and security while at home. Edwardo is a sweet cheerful teenager that lives in a wooden area of Buena Vista Township and doesn’t have children his age to hang around with. He has a sister that is a couple years older, and they tend to play video games together.

Edwardo is an autistic high school student who relies on visual cues for stimulation. Recently, he accidentally broke his PlayStation, and unfortunately, his family has limited funds to replace it. His single mother, who has just started a new job, is working hard to support their household of two. Playing video games has always been Edwardo's preferred way to relax and find calm, making the loss of his game system particularly difficult for him.
