A Burlington County mother is collecting sensory items for students in the Lumberton School District in memory of her 6-year-old son, who drowned last year at a summer camp.
Since his death last summer , Enjoli Stewart said she's continued to look for ways to honor her son, Michael Stewart.
"It's second by second. Some seconds are good; some are not," Stewart said. "But any way that we can recognize him and remember him, we do."
She said they've already exceeded their original goal of purchasing 500 items, including fidgets, Play-Doh and noise-canceling headphones, to help Michael's former Lumberton School District classmates.
She's hoping to expand the drive to collect more items, including sensory tents.
"I think he'd be thrilled," Stewart said. "He'd probably ask for a fidget."
