Carmela, 6 years old, NJ | 44 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Carmela’s dad died unexpectedly in 2021 when she was just 2 years old. She is the most snuggly girl, she’s smart beyond her years, and funny in ways she doesn’t even realize yet. She loves playing anything pretend, especially with her brother, but most of all playing mommy to her baby doll, Charlotte.

Carmela adores playing pretend, especially alongside her brother. Her favorite activity is caring for her baby doll, Charlotte, as if she were a real baby. Recently, she's developed a dream of having a special customized American Girl doll that looks just like her. This personalized doll would make her feel even closer to her imagination. She imagines all the fun she could have with her mini-me, creating adventures and sharing secrets. Carmela can hardly wait for the day when her dream doll becomes a reality!
