Carter, 17 years old, CA |

Wish submitted by:

Carter is a resilient and strong teenager who has experienced profound loss during his life. Carter has been in and out of foster care since he was born. This has resulted in Carter being caught up in the wrong crowd, which led to his being involved in Juvenile Hall when he was just 15 years old. However, Carter has changed his life around with the support of his older brother, who has recently taken guardianship over him. In fact, he is on track to graduate high school 1.5 years early, due to his determination and drive. He is an exceptional young man with big dreams. He cares deeply about his family and wants to succeed to support them when he is older.

Carter would love a toaster oven. He has temporarily moved in with his older brother, and their oven is broken, making it difficult to cook meals at home. He enjoys helping in the kitchen and learning how to prepare food, and having a toaster oven would allow him to make meals for both of them, try new recipes, and gain more independence. This gift would not only help him take care of his brother but also bring more warmth and comfort to their little home!
