Jerry is a bright, gentle 17-year-old young man with autism who experiences the world in his own beautifully unique way. He has a deep love for music and is most at peace when he's exploring sound, whether he's listening to his favorite songs, creating beats, or experimenting with rhythms and melodies. Music is more than just a passion for Jerry; it's a powerful form of self-expression and comfort, helping him connect with others and navigate his emotions. Jerry will likely require lifelong support from his family, and he is fortunate to have a devoted and loving mother who is also his full-time caregiver. As a single parent, she works hard to meet their daily needs, but with the rising cost of living, things have become increasingly difficult, especially around the holidays. Extras like Christmas gifts often fall outside of what's financially possible, no matter how much she wishes she could provide them. This year is especially meaningful for Jerry and his family since it will be his first Christmas at home in two years. After spending a significant amount of time in an out-of-state residential treatment, he was finally able to return home this past spring. Having him back has been an emotional and joyful journey for the entire family. They're rebuilding routines, making new memories, and cherishing the chance to be together again under one roof. More than anything, Jerry would be overjoyed to find a special surprise under the tree this year, something that celebrates his return home and reminds him how loved and valued he is. Musical gifts or anything creative that allows him to continue exploring sound would mean the world to him. Any support during this holiday season would help make his Christmas back truly unforgettable.
