CA DCFS - Los Angeles County

Karter is a compassionate and witty teenager who has faced a plethora of challenges during his upbringing such as never having his own bedroom or space. Although he has faced many injustices throughout his life, he has been striving while living with his maternal grandmother. Karter is at an age where he is learning more about himself and what his interests are. He remains a bright, sociable, and easygoing teenager. Karter is also cheerful and curious about the world and continues to do well in school. Karter loves the idea of traveling.

Karter's grandmother recently moved, and some items are still missing from his bedroom. For Christmas, he has his heart set on a new dresser with LED lights. This addition would help him feel like he truly has his own space, allowing him to personalize his room in a way that reflects his unique style and interests. This sense of ownership can contribute to his feeling of belonging and create a positive environment. Karter envisions a sleek white dresser that would perfectly match his current setup.
