Carmen, 34 years old, MA | 38 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Carmen is a loving and devoted single mother who pours her heart into caring for her son, who was diagnosed with severe autism and is nonverbal. Despite living with an intellectual disability herself, Carmen shows remarkable strength, patience, and resilience every day. She is gentle, nurturing, and lights up when she sees her son smile. Carmen has struggled throughout her life due to her disability and a lack of family support.

Carmen would love a small sofa. This Small Boneless Sofa Chair would greatly benefit her and her three boys by helping create a safe, calming, and welcoming space in their home. With two of her children diagnosed with ADHD and autism, the soft, memory foam, low-to-the-ground design would provide a sensory-friendly area where they can relax, regulate their emotions, and feel secure. It can also serve as a special spot for reading, quiet time, or spending time together as a family, helping support both structure and connection in the home. Its ready-to-use, no-assembly design would also help reduce stress for Carmen, allowing her to focus on continuing to build a warm and supportive home for her children. She has been working hard to make their space feel comfortable and inviting.
