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 recently gave birth to her first baby, and she is starting from scratch in her own apartment as she begins independent living. She hopes to get a portable bottle warmer so she can give her baby a warm bottle wherever they are, at home, at appointments, or while running errands. A portable warmer would make feedings easier and more comfortable for her little one and take away the stress of finding a way to warm a bottle on the go. Charlotte is raising her baby the best she can, often on her own, and a simple tool like this would help her feel prepared and confident. It would give her one more essential to count on as she cares for the new life in her arms.
