Jackson, 6 years old, OR | 20 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Greater Oregon Behavioral Health, Inc

Jackson is a bright and resilient boy who was placed in the care of his aunt after both of his biological parents were incarcerated due to substance abuse. He has an easygoing and joyful personality. Jackson particularly enjoys spending time outdoors, riding his bike and scooter with his cousin. He possesses a natural curiosity and has a special interest in cars. Additionally, Jackson loves books and truly enjoys reading, which helps nurture his imagination and learning.

Jack started first grade and has really struggled in such a big class. His caregiver has made the decision to homeschool him, and the change has already shown. He does so much better with one-on-one time, and the work he finishes at home is night and day compared to the half-done assignments he brought home from school. He is motivated and tries hard, but he needs extra attention that a large classroom could not give him. A desk and chair of his own would give him a dedicated space for schoolwork at home, with a quiet place to concentrate where he can do his best work.
