Biography:
Hello friend,
My name is Liza and I am a member of " A Mom's Helping Hand community! I am excited to share with you a little about my family. I am a mother of 3 boys. I work in the Cape Coral community as a school teacher and I serve Children's ministry at a local community church. My boys are all students in Lee County public schools.
My youngest son is Matthew, age 3, he is a ball of energy. Matthew is a climber and loves the outdoors. Matthew is well rounded as he enjoys everything in sight. He is a happy kid. Matthew is teaching his family a lot about life and how to enjoy it. Something else you should know about Matthew is that he is growing up in the church environment and has his own prayer. I enjoy sharing this because I believe Matthew came into our lives to save us! He is our little miracle gift and we are very lucky to have him.
My second born is Brayden, he is in 11th grade and has the noblest heart of all. He is in a higher education program at his high school and works rigorously to excel in his education. Brayden is resilient and does not give up on things easily. Something to know about Brayden is how important it is for him to be successful. He dreams big and has visited schools in North Carolina for his interest. Brayden was to either go into Medicine or Law. He does, however, have a soft spot for Child Psychology. Brayden says that one day he will buy me a house and a nice car and that he will make me proud. He already makes me proud.
My firstborn, Michael, my oldest but also my higher needs child. Michael has high-functioning autism and social anxiety disorder. Due to his disability, Michael has a difficult time coping easily with things that may be simple for you and I. He does not like to be surrounded by too many people and prefers to be alone for most activities. Michael has some obsessive behaviors like a need to always wear a hat, earbuds and listen to music. At the current time, he wears his earbuds and pretends to listen to music because his phone is broken but it still helps him cope better than not having anything in his ears. He is currently in his last year of high school and has a plan in place to attend a technical school for Medical Billing training in the near future. Michael also receives services through vocational rehabilitation to teach him the skills necessary to function in a mainstream job as well as advocate for his future. Michael's maturity and social interactions are low and he often thinks/feels himself to be a kid but with the right support, we are hopeful he can make tremendous gains in the future.
We are a small family but very optimistic and extremely positive. We understand that although life can be difficult, it is better dealt if we put, God first, support each other, and work hard.
Thank you for taking the time to read about my family and for wanting to make an impact on our lives. We do not take that lightly and you are beyond appreciated. God Bless!

Mom
Age: 42 Gender: Female Shirt Size: Coat Size: Pants Size: Shoe Size: Pajama Size: Bedding Color: Bedding Size: Queen Wish List Me- Okay I am not good at asking for anything for me, but If I was to ask for something, it would be an Air Fryer to air fry food for my kids, or an instapot, again to cook for my kids. Personally I do not have a desire for anything for me except maybe a real need for a good pedicure, trust me when I say that!! Thank you for reading this and God Bless your desire to help members of our community. I am honestly grateful and my kids love earning the value of giving back. In fact, my Middle son has mentioned hoping he can do the same when he is older. Child # 2
Age: 16 Gender: m Coat Size: youth medium Shirt Size: m Pants Size: 29 Shoe Size: 9 Pajama Size: m Bedding Color: red/black Bedding Size: Twin Wish List His biggest Christmas wish is to find a job. He wants to be able to help me with bills and buy his own things. Although I encourage the opposite and want him to focus on his education, he wanted me to still let you know that he wants a job very badly. I asked him what kind of material things he wants for Christmas and it was difficult for him to be specific. He simply said he wants to buy clothes and shoes to fit in at school. He said teenagers are picky with their clothes and that he can provide an Amazon wish list for ideas if it helps. Other possible items involved a television for his room with a built-in DVD player or a comfy desk chair for his desk's work space. Brayden is not into sports. He rather is inside a book then outside running. He also said he is grateful whatever he gets. |

Age: 19 Gender: M Coat Size: 3x Shirt Size: 3x Pants Size: 3x Shoe Size: Pajama Size: 3x Bedding Color: blue/orange Bedding Size: queen Wish List Michael enjoys playing video games on his Nintendo switch he wants Pokemon Shield or Super Mario Maker 2. Michael enjoys listening to music. Michael uses music as a coping mechanism to deal with everyday situations. He had an LG cell phone with Sprint in which he listened to music, but it broke. His phone bill is not so high but I cannot purchase a new phone now so he has nothing to listen to music in. Michael does not like a change of routine or belongings. He likes to wear the same things every week and must wear hats as a security measure. His hats are wearing out because he uses them so much but he is very happy when he gets new hats like baseball caps, but NO baseball logos. HE LOVES the Super Mario franchise, Naruto, and an animated Japanese show called JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. |
