Joseph may be nonverbal, but his heart sings louder than words. He loves singing, numbers, and ABCs, and being the sweetest big brother to his baby sister. His laughter is contagious, his hugs are pure magic, and his curiosity about the world makes every day brighter.
What are Joseph's favorite activities?He’s fascinated by numbers and the ABCs, often playing with puzzles and blocks that help him explore these interests. He loves sensory-stimulating activities like playing with textured toys, squishing kinetic sand, and splashing in water. Joseph also enjoys going to parks, playing with his baby sister, and dancing along to music that brightens his day. His curiosity and joyful spirit make every moment special.
How would $25,000 impact your family?$25,000 would be life-changing for our family, especially for Joseph. Autism resources are incredibly expensive—from building him a sensory room that helps calm and regulate him, to devices that support his speech development. We are also trying to afford safety tools, like tracking devices, because Joseph elopes, and it’s a constant fear for us as parents. Every dollar would go toward creating a safe, supportive environment for Jo to thrive and explore the world with confidence.
