We were told we couldn’t have kids and then came Carlin. She’s joy, grit, and proof that miracles happen.
We would like to thank you for supporting Carlin in this year's competition. Your participation helps us support Toys for Tots in their mission to bring joy and hope to children during the holiday season.
We're celebrating the power of play, creativity, and imagination through beloved brands families know and love.
Carlin is full of life. She is curious, joyful, and always ready to explore the world around her. She has a kind heart and genuinely cares about others, always eager to meet new friends and play. Her smile is infectious, and she loves waving to everyone she sees, spreading joy wherever she goes
What are Carlin's favorite activities?Carlin loves playing vet with the dog, swimming, going on walks, painting everything but the paper, and taking care of her baby dolls. She truly brings imagination, energy and joy to everything she does.
How would $25,000 impact your family?We’ve faced significant financial and emotional challenges on our path to growing our family. Years ago, we navigated a cancer diagnosis followed by the high costs of fertility treatments. We turned to egg donation and surrogacy and were heartbroken to recently lose our baby at 22 weeks in utero. Now, we’re working through the grief while preparing to begin the process again. $25,000 would give us the chance to continue building our family and lessen our debt.
