A Special Birthday Escape for Carter who wants to feel seen and loved

Posted Feb 21, 2025
Carter dreams of having a birthday party at Great Wolf Lodge, a place where he can escape his worries and just be a kid. Over the years, he has struggled with feeling overlooked in his home, often returning to find a new sibling who needed more attention, leaving him feeling unseen and unimportant. These feelings of neglect have led him to skip school, cut class, and even attempt to run away, searching for a sense of belonging. A birthday celebration at Great Wolf Lodge would be more than just a party. It would be a reminder that he is valued, cherished, and worthy of love. Surrounded by friends and experiencing the joy of adventure, Carter would finally have a moment where he feels like the center of attention, creating memories that could help restore his confidence and give him hope for brighter days ahead.

Carter is 12 years old and lives in TX

Carter came into care with his mother when he was one year old. Unfortunately, she decided to leave him in his foster placement to move in with her boyfriend. Carter is a very lovable and affectionate boy who enjoys laughing and making others laugh as well. He loves watching sports on TV, especially football, and his favorite team is the Cleveland Browns. Carter is a sweet boy who leaves a lasting impression on everyone he meets.
