Receive Text UpdatesOwen is an inquisitive little scientist with a poet's soul. He’s empathetic, expressive, and electric with kindness. He’s like a mini-Olaf—warm-hearted, loyal, and practically melt-proof, even in the Arizona heat. He doesn’t just watch the world—he investigates it. He wants to know what makes a car vroom, how water feels when it moves, and why music makes our bodies want to wiggle. He’s playful, but he’s also deeply thoughtful, and curious about others.
What are Owen Rehnberg's favorite activities?He loves fast cars, not just the vehicles, but the sounds, the speed, and the science behind them. He’ll lose himself in hours of imaginative races. Then, out of nowhere, he’ll pause... and dance. This kid has rhythm—pure joy in motion. Maybe it’s his Latino roots, or perhaps it’s just Owen being Owen, but when he dances, the whole room comes alive. His hips don’t lie, and neither does his happiness. And then there’s his love for water. Splashing in it, swimming in it, and studying it.
How would $25,000 impact your family?It would allow us to create a sensory-safe space right here at home, something we’ve dreamed of but never had the means to build. A space where Owen can run, climb, splash, and swing. In a space designed just for him, full of comfort, creativity, and curiosity. A home-based therapy space would mean the world to Owen, where his sensory needs are respected, his imagination is valued, and his safety is always assured.
