Julio

Meet Julio, who goes by Carter—a joyful, spirited little boy with a big personality and an infectious laugh! Carter communicates in his own unique ways, using bright smiles, giggles, and expressive glances to let those around him know how he feels. He recognizes familiar voices, lights up when he’s happy, and loves being included in all the activity around him. Carter enjoys tummy time, where he works hard to build his strength, and loves toys that light up or make sound. He has a playful sense of humor and sometimes sticks out his tongue to show his personality. Music and cartoons like Spiderman and Paw Patrol always capture his attention, and he delights in outdoor adventures in his wheelchair. Bath time is another favorite, especially when he gets to splash and play in the water. Carter enjoys attending school, being read to, and spending time with his foster siblings and the family dogs. In the evenings, he relaxes to soft music or nature sounds and drifts peacefully to sleep after a full, happy day. Affectionate and full of joy, Carter loves cuddles, stretchy clothes, Mexican food, and being surrounded by family life. His bright spirit brings warmth and happiness to everyone who knows him!

Carter would thrive in a family that is knowledgeable, resourceful, and patient, supporting him through his growth and daily needs. His ideal family will provide endless love while ensuring he has the tools and resources to grow up happy, healthy, and successful. This family would be confident and capable in caring for a child with primary medical needs, embracing all of Carter’s unique qualities and celebrating his joy and spirit each day.
