HopeWell - In Home Supports

Carmen is a loving and devoted single mother who pours her heart into caring for her 3-year-old son, who was recently diagnosed with severe autism and is nonverbal. Despite living with an intellectual disability herself, Carmen shows remarkable strength, patience, and resilience every day. She is gentle, nurturing, and lights up when she sees her son smile. Carmen has struggled throughout her life due to her disability and a lack of family support.

Carmen's desire for a comfy, oversized swivel chair goes beyond simply wanting a piece of furniture; it symbolizes her intention to create lasting memories and strengthen her bond with her son. This cozy chair would provide them with a special space to cuddle, read, and share quiet moments together. It represents her goal of building a soft, safe world for him. One of their favorite ways to connect is through storytime, during which Carmen reads to him while holding him close. This creates a comforting environment where he feels loved and secure.
