Carter entered foster care and has shown remarkable resilience and growth during this transition. Since being removed from his home, he has made significant academic progress, demonstrating increased focus and motivation in school. Carter has also built positive friendships, creating a sense of belonging and stability in his new environment. One of the most meaningful changes has been his discovery of a passion for track and field. Through the sport, Carter has found a healthy outlet for stress, a way to build confidence, and an opportunity to set and achieve personal goals. He takes pride in pushing himself, staying committed to practice, and being part of a team. Carter is hardworking, determined, and eager to continue growing. His ability to adapt, stay positive, and find purpose despite challenges makes him truly special. With continued encouragement and support, Carter is well-positioned to keep building a bright and hopeful future.

There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Carter with an extra surprise to open on their special day. Although their celebrations may look different this year, it will remind them that they are valued and remembered on this important occasion!
