Charlotte, 19 years old, CA | 3 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Charlotte was removed from her biological parents due to drug misuse and neglect and was adopted by her maternal great-grandfather. After turning 16 and facing the loss of her elderly caregiver, she entered protective custody, becoming a non-minor dependent. Now living independently for the first time, she does not have a strong support system. Her new CASA is her main visitor, and she recently gave birth to a baby in September 2026.

Charlotte wants to protect every ounce of breast milk she pumps. She is a new mom who is living on her own for the first time, with little support beyond her CASA, and she often has to carry what her baby needs to appointments and errands. A portable breast milk cooler would keep her milk fresh and safe while she is away from home, so she never has to choose between getting out and feeding her baby the way she wants. After facing so many changes of her own, including the loss of the great-grandfather who raised her, Charlotte is determined to give her child a steady start. A reliable cooler would give her peace of mind and the freedom to go where she needs to go.
