Carla, 12 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Carla has been in foster care for three years and has made amazing progress in her residential placement. As the youngest in the home, she sometimes struggles to fit in and navigate negative interactions with older peers. Carla is quiet and reserved but becomes more outgoing when she feels comfortable. She enjoys fashion, makeup, and making jewelry, giving her creative ways to express herself and explore her interests.

Carla is not currently involved in many activities, and her team is helping her explore positive hobbies and interests. She is happiest when she can be creative, and activities she enjoys are often the best way to connect with her. Carla loves making jewelry and the color black, making a jewelry-making kit a fun and meaningful activity for her to enjoy with her CASA advocate.
