A new pair of basketball shoes for Zaria who recently joined the YMCA girls basketball team

Posted Jan 19, 2023
Zaria was so excited when she was selected to join the YMCA girls basketball team. Zaria was very upset when she wasn't picked for her school's basketball team and had gave up on playing basketball. Zaria was encouraged to try out at the local YMCA and she was picked in the first round. Basketball is everything to Zaria and she practices daily. A new pair of shoes would really be a great gift!

Zaria is 13 years old and lives in VA

Zaria is a very bright young lady who recently entered foster care, with a lots of anxiety. She is currently receiving supports to help her manage her anxiety. Zaria likes to focus on the things she loves like scented candles, nail art, reading, the color blue, fidget toys, journaling, and colorful lights. Zaria is new to foster care so this is a very confusing time for her but she is doing her best to stay positive.
