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 needs new clothes for school, as she is growing quickly and has outgrown many of her current items. Having properly fitting, seasonally appropriate clothing will help ensure she is comfortable, confident, and prepared to participate fully in her daily school activities. Access to new clothing will also support her sense of dignity and belonging among her peers, which is essential for her social and emotional development.
