Blake, 6 years old, PA | 16 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Blake is an energetic, free-spirited boy whose enthusiasm and wonderful sense of humor are truly contagious. He loves making others laugh, playing tag, riding his bike, and spending time outdoors. Blake has Autism and ADHD and has faced many challenges at school, but this year he started in a new classroom and has been thriving. In just five years, he has overcome challenges that many adults could hardly imagine, yet he continues to show incredible resilience, joy, and determination. His family is incredibly proud of the progress he has made and would love to celebrate his hard work with something that brings him the same happiness he brings to others.

Blake's adoptive family recently moved to a new home with a lot more room to roam. Some of his friends have four-wheelers of their own, and Blake has put in the work to learn how to operate one safely, which is no small thing given that he's navigating autism and ADHD. For Blake, having his own four-wheeler would mean more than fun — the focus and physical engagement it takes to ride give him a healthy outlet for his energy and a sense of mastery that can be harder to find elsewhere. He's been asking for one of his own, but it's out of reach for his family's budget right now. This wish would let Blake enjoy that same independence and excitement as his friends, right at home with the people who love him.
