Carmen, 5 years old, CA | 6 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 03/27

Wish submitted by:

Carmen was placed into foster care along with four siblings. Before entering care, her family experienced a sudden eviction, leaving them unable to bring any of their belongings with them. She has endured significant trauma and was separated from three of her siblings, though she is currently placed with one sibling in a nurturing foster home. Despite these challenges, Carmen’s caregiver describes her as a sweet, caring child who continues to show kindness and resilience. She enjoys playing with age-appropriate toys and finding comfort in simple, joyful activities.

There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Carmen 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!
