Holiday Wish: Santana Family Update [VIDEO]

Thanks to you, we were able to get Jami his special cocoon swing! 

If you listened to the Rock and Fox Show this morning, you heard Ilena and her sons' story. We were looking for help to get 4-year-old, severely Autistic, Jami a cocoon swing for use in their home.

Because Jami's story touched so many people, we were able to collect more than enough money to buy Jami not only the cocoon swing, but the very expensive frame unit they will need to set it up in their small apartment. Other generous donations included series of books and TV for Jami and his 10-year-old brother, weighted blankets for Jami and toys and a basketball hoop for Jami's brother who loves to play basketball!

Several local businesses also pitched in to help Jami - Silva & Co. Jewelry donated an iPad to help Jami with his language skills and a large cash donation, All Ranks Academy donated specialty gymnastic classes for Jami, and Wareham Crossing donated a gift card for the family to go shopping for Christmas gifts this season. Faded Image Barber Shop also generously donated a year's worth of haircuts for Jami and his brother!

If you would like to donate to Ilena and Jami, please text WISH to 313131.
