Carmen, 34 years old, MA

Wish submitted by:

Carmen is a loving and devoted single mother who pours her heart into caring for her son, who was 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 wish for a comfy, oversized chair is about more than just furniture; it symbolizes her desire to create lasting memories and strengthen her bond with her sons. This cozy chair would provide them with a special place to share stories and enjoy quiet moments together. It reflects her intention to build a soft, safe environment for her sons. Having a comfortable and welcoming space to sit together will enhance family bonding, establish a sense of home, and offer a place where they can relax, connect, and feel secure as a family.
