Carmen, 35 years old, MA | 21 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 has been working hard to make her home feel warm and welcoming for her three boys despite financial struggles and the daily demands of raising a child with significant needs. Right now, she's hoping for a dining room table where her boys can share breakfast together before school each morning. It's a simple wish, but one that would bring the family closer and create lasting memories. A table like this would give Carmen's household years of shared meals and togetherness.
