    Hello! My name is Timothy. I have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, autism, ADHD, anxiety disorders, cognitive impairment, and more. I really enjoyed WWE wrestling, and I’ve loved Spider-Man since I was very young. I like to watch WWE wrestling and Spider-Man and other wrestling shows on YouTube. I just recently watched the new Avengers, and I love the movie! I spend a lot of time by myself and with my wrestlers. When I try to make friends, people just don’t understand me. So sometimes for me, I just melt down because people don’t understand what I’m saying or they don’t understand how I feel or I’m not understanding something. I do have two brothers that spend time with me, and I also have a sister, all of whom do understand me. I’m having a very hard time in school. I cannot seem to progress at all due to my impairments. I cannot tie my shoes, and I always wear pull-up clothes because buttons sometimes give me sensory issues. I just can’t button very good yet. It is really hard for me to make friends and keep them just because I feel like if they don’t understand me so I would just rather be by myself sometimes. Sometimes people make fun of me because I have braces. I often ask my mom and my dad why my feet are crooked. I do have to use a wheelchair if I have to go long places because my feet do hurt. At recess I do have one friend, and she reads to me a lot as I do have dyslexia and dysgraphia. I have selected a Disney dream because I just think it would be really awesome! Maybe, just maybe, I could meet Spider-Man and some of the other Marvel Heroes. I’ve always always loved Spider-Man, and I think it would be really great to meet him. I would also like to see Mickey and do some of the water rides. I think I would have a wonderful time during this, and I sure hope that I can get there someday soon. Thank you for reading my story. God bless you all.

    It’s hard not to smile when you meet this handsome 11 year old, since Aaron, from Hudson, FL, is always giggling and even asks for a hug as a way of saying “Hello!” Aaron has 11 different diagnoses, yet remains very happy and affectionate through doctors appointments, injections and medications. Being non-verbal with epilepsy and an Immune system deficiency, Aaron’s DREAM is to have a sensory room at home where his OT and ABA therapists can provide his 30-hour a week therapy at home, instead of driving across town to an office. The goal is to provide an indoor swing, bubble tube and a ball pit for sensory play. This dream will benefit him by providing indoor exercise with the swing, having access to occupational therapy equipment and giving him the lights and sounds for sensory output. A quiet corner will give him a place to relax after an epilepsy episode with soothing music. As a pre-teen that craves his own space, this will be the first time Aaron will have a room to call his own that he doesn’t have to share with his autistic, younger brother, Bubba! Can you help Aaron’s dream for a sensory room come true?

    Brady received early intervention at 20 months and was officially diagnosed with low-functioning autism at 2.5. He has been steadily in therapy and schools since. He has worked very hard to overcome a lot of his sensory issues which prevented many activities the first few years of his life. Between school and therapy (ABA, OT, Speech) he is occupied 45-50 hours a week. At 6 years old he is a very hard worker. He works incredibly hard for each sliver of progress. Giving Brady his Dream to visit the Florida Theme Parks would allow him to “check out” of his busy life and just be a kid in his dream environment- sun, fun and Mickey. Brady loves Disney and is most excited about visiting the Magic Kingdom and the Animal Kingdom because he loves animals and Mickey. Some of his favorite things to do are swim, dance, and watch Alex Trebek commercials online. When he grows up, he wants to work at Chuck E Cheese or become an Olympic swimmer.
