Ethan, 2 years old

Wish submitted by:

Ethan has been in his foster home since he was just two weeks old. He is a loving and adventurous little boy with a creative mind. As a sensory-seeking child, he enjoys exploring the world around him, often putting objects in and out of containers. However, Ethan is developmentally behind due to his diagnosis of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a heart condition identified when he was 20 weeks in the womb. He underwent open heart surgery at three months old, which has significantly impacted his development. Despite these challenges, Ethan began crawling at 13 months and took his first steps at 19 months. To support his growth, he is currently receiving physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), speech therapy, and specialized instruction tailored to his needs.

Ethan would love a small indoor bounce house, which would provide a fantastic opportunity for him to engage in safe and fun jumping activities. This bounce house would not only create a lively and enjoyable atmosphere within our home, but it would also significantly aid in developing Ethan's large motor skills. With a dedicated space for jumping, Ethan can exercise and play in a controlled environment, ensuring his safety while he enjoys physical activity. As we transition into the colder months, this addition would encourage him to stay active, allowing him to burn off energy and promote healthy movement even when outdoor play is limited. Overall, this indoor bounce house would be a wonderful investment in Ethan's well-being and growth.
