A Carpet Shampooer for Caroline who has her own place now

Posted Dec 30, 2019
Caroline is a workhorse and has saved diligently since graduating high school. Last summer, she put a down payment on a place of her own. She is so proud of herself, you could see her bright smile a mile away! Her place has rather worn carpet and Caroline has a dog, so she likes to borrow a neighbor's carpet shampooer about once a month to keep her place smelling fresh. She would love to have one of her own so she can wash it more often and not have to bother her neighbor about it. Let's keep showing Caroline that there are adults out there that are proud of her, even if her parents have let her down.

Caroline is 23 years old and lives in IN

Caroline is the oldest in a sibling group of three. She has spent most of her life neglected by drug-abusing family members and grew to be a parent-figure for her younger brother and sister. Amazingly, she has remained drug free and is determined to make a different life for herself. Unfortunately, she was seperated from her siblings, but hopes they can be back together soon. She has frequent phone contact with them and occasionally gets to spend time with her sister in person. Caroline has a strong and beautiful spirit. She graduated high school and held her head high despite neither of her parents showing up to celebrate this accomplishment with her. We truly believe this girl can do anything she puts her mind to. So many adults in her life didn't think she would make it this far, but she is proving them wrong every step of the way. Today she works full time and is making a life for herself.
