Wesley, 3 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Wesley was placed with his grandparents since he was just a few months old. He is autistic, has fetal alcohol syndrome, Noonan syndrome, and ADHD, among many other developmental delays. He enjoys climbing, jumping, dancing, swimming, riding his adaptive bike, running, and almost anything else that requires a great deal of physical activity. He is a loving and strong little boy but is slowly losing himself due to his ASD3 diagnosis.

Wesley has autism and ADHD. He uses weights in therapy to build muscle strength, and his therapist recommended an adjustable set of kettlebells for home use. With them, his grandparent can keep working with him on his home exercise program, so he doesn't lose the progress he makes in sessions between visits. Because the kettlebells adjust, the weight can change as Wesley gets stronger. Wesley recently had a setback in his treatment, which makes consistent practice at home even more important. Having the right equipment on hand would help him keep moving forward and rebuild the strength he has worked hard to gain.
