Carmen is a sweet woman who loves everyone she meets. Her story is pretty tough. But she is tough. She aged out of foster care and moved into her own apartment with a roommate. She lost her job then had COVID then she had to have surgery in her hands for arthritis, carpal tunnel. She wants to foster kids someday because she remembers. She is very pleasant and happy to be around others. She is going through rehab on her hands, but she says she will not let this get her down and she wants to write someday. She wants to write children's books.

"Tears, jumping for joy! She gets to sew! She is so excited and cannot wait to get started. In fact, she is going to start making some things for the local nursing home, and then she is going to start making some phone case bags. This will be so fun! Thank you for making a dream come true this holiday season! "
