Cool Sunglasses for Matthew who just had Eye Surgery

Posted Jun 1, 2020
Matthew wishes for a cool pair of sunglasses that will shield and protect his eyes. His eyes are extremely sensitive due to having several surgeries to correct the effects of abuse and neglect. This will make his life better and allow him to be outside in the sun like a normal kid; it will also make his ride in the car easier.

Matthew is 19 years old and lives in NC

Matthew is learning to trust and be in social settings, he has come along way and has turned into a social bug. He loves being outside and having space to run and play in by himself. Matthew loves camping, hiking, biking, swimming, and all things outside. He enjoys wildlife and other animals. His favorite color is green. He really likes to change clothes a lot and look nice.

Awesome Human grants the wish for Matthew! Thanks Awesome Human.

"Dear Matthew, I am so happy to grant your wish! I clearly remember when my teachers convinced my mom to get me glasses. When I came home with new glasses, I cried. I had never known that trees had leaves! They were just a blur to me. So, when I read your wish, my heart exploded! Please know you are loved and appreciated. You are always guided. Best wishes! Lots of love, Nancy"

"Nancy, You really made Matthew feel so cool! He was grinning from ear to ear in his new sunglasses. He is being so very particular to take good care of them. This was a huge help to him, he really has been through a lot in the past and has shared his concern of how his eyes look with us; let alone how he has to physically feel. Thank you so much, he was so very appreciative. "
