HOLIDAY WISH

A sherpa weighted blanket for Jeff to feel relaxed and calm

Posted Dec 9, 2024
Jeff has experienced significant emotional stress stemming from sensory sensitivities. When he was younger, a weighted vest at school proved incredibly helpful in managing these challenges, providing a calming, reassuring pressure that significantly reduced his anxiety. This positive experience has led him to seek a weighted blanket for home use. He describes the feeling of the weight as deeply soothing, almost like a comforting hug, and he believes it will greatly improve his ability to relax and fall asleep. The consistent pressure offers a sense of security and helps regulate his nervous system, mitigating the emotional distress caused by sensory overload. He's hoping this blanket will become an essential tool in managing his sensory needs and improving his overall well-being, particularly his sleep quality.

Jeffery is 15 years old and lives in NJ

Jeffery is friendly and highly active. He likes board games, card games, puzzles and playing video games for hours. He also likes to spend time building legos. Jeffery loves comic books and pokemon cards. He is obsessed with all things frogs. When he wants to relax and calm his nerves listening to music usually helps. He loves the connection he has with his team while waiting to find a forever family.
