Carmen, 6 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Carmen has experienced multiple transitions in foster care since infancy and is currently under the guardianship of her older brother, who provides stability and support. Despite the challenges she has faced, she demonstrates resilience, adaptability, and a positive outlook. She enjoys spending time outdoors, staying active, reading, and playing games; activities that support her social development, creativity, and overall well-being. With continued encouragement and access to enriching opportunities, Carmen is well-positioned to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Carmen wants a skateboard so she can ride to the park with her older brother, who she is currently living with, after school. Having a skateboard would help her stay active, enjoy some healthy fun, and spend quality time with her sibling. These moments are great for encouraging an active lifestyle and creating lasting memories that are important for her growth and happiness.
