Carmen, 7 years old, CA | 28 DAYS WAITING

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 is seeking help to purchase a new bicycle, as she has outgrown her previous one. Riding has always been one of her favorite outdoor activities, allowing her to stay active, relish the beauty of nature, and connect with her friends in the neighborhood after school. With a properly sized bicycle, Carmen can continue to participate in this joyful and enriching activity, ensuring her comfort and safety while supporting her active lifestyle.
