Maddox, 1 year old, VA | 12 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 10/16

Wish submitted by:

Maddx is a persistent, physical little guy who loves crawling at top speed, pulling up on anything within reach, and shrieking with delight when he's chased around the living room. Maddox came into foster care as an infant after concerns about neglect in his birth home. He has spent his time bonding with a foster family who has worked hard to help him catch up on some early developmental delays. He's making great progress, learning more and more each week, and he lights up at the sound of other children playing nearby. Maddox is resilient and determined. He has already overcome a lot in his short life, and he deserves continued stability, patience, and encouragement as he keeps growing and catching up.

Maddox loves hands-on toys he can grab, twist, and rearrange. A Potato Head Create Your Family set would be perfect for his curious, determined nature. Fitting the pieces together would help him build fine motor skills while giving his foster family a fun, silly activity to enjoy together, something that supports the bonding and developmental progress he's been working so hard on this past year. For a baby who has already overcome real early challenges, playful learning like this offers both a boost to his growth and a joyful shared moment with the people caring for him. This would give Maddox a fun new toy and support as he works toward the milestones he's reaching.
