Wish submitted by:

Carlos finds joy and peace in the kitchen and through music. Cooking is his happy place. Being outside in nature brings him a sense of peace and helps him feel calm amidst life’s chaos. Carlos's journey hasn’t been easy, having moved around a lot as a kid after being separated from his parents. Although he hoped to return home, that dream didn’t come true. Still, Carlos stays positive and resilient, believing he can build a future filled with growth in both his garden and his kitchen.

For his upcoming birthday, Carlos has one heartfelt wish: he wants a hammock. Not just any hammock, but one with a sturdy wooden frame and a cozy double hammock—perfect for sharing! After long hours in the kitchen and dreaming about his future garden, he really craves a peaceful spot to relax and connect with nature. Carlos imagines lying back in the hammock with his little siblings, gently swaying as they watch the clouds during the day and the stars at night. It’s not just a place to rest; it's where precious memories will be made, filled with laughter and joy. This hammock represents the quiet moments he loves, a little sanctuary where he can recharge and enjoy time with the people he cares about most. It’s the perfect gift that shows his love for nature and his desire for meaningful connections.
