Ra'ees, 5 years old, NJ | 13 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Ra'ees is a curious, active kid who loves running, climbing, and stopping to inspect every bug he finds on the sidewalk. He insists on doing things himself, like zipping his own jacket, even when it gets stuck. He has a soft spot for bright colors, trucks, and anything covered in stars, and while he doesn't have behavioral struggles, he does navigate some sensory sensitivities.

Because of his sensory needs, Ra'ees can only wear certain clothes, like ones with zippers, and getting dressed can sometimes bring on real anxiety. Letting him pick out his own clothes would mean he gets items that actually feel comfortable to him, taking a lot of that stress out of everyday mornings. It would also give him a real sense of independence, letting him have a say in something that's entirely his choice.
