A PlayStation for Ayden who enjoys playing video games

Posted Jul 30, 2024
Ayden's greatest wish is to have a PlayStation. Living with Autism and Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, he battles through daily obstacles that most of us can't even imagine. His struggles with social skills, motor skills, communication, sensory processing, and emotional regulation are relentless, yet he refuses to let them define him. Despite the challenges he faces, Ayden is a brave and determined young boy who strives to cherish each day like any other child. On his toughest days, he turns to coping mechanisms, finding solace in playing video games to calm his mind and soothe his soul. Having his own PlayStation could be a beacon of hope for Ayden, offering him not just a source of joy, but a tool for development. It could aid in honing his cognitive skills, refining his motor skills, enhancing communication, and even facilitating socialization. In the face of his struggles, the gift of a PlayStation could be a ray of light in Ayden's world, bringing him moments of respite and happiness amidst his daily battles.

Ayden is 9 years old and lives in CA

Ayden is one of the happiest, active boys ever! Ayden enjoys the smallest things in life such as running around outside, playing with a ball and looking at his fish tank in his home. He is kind and very affectionate and loves to watch Paw Patrol
