LaKayla, 17 years old, TX

Homes for Children CorporationLaKayla's story is both inspiring and heartwarming. She is a 15-year-old who entered foster care in February 2023, and her resilience shines through in her journey. She finds solace and joy in dancing and expressing her creativity through drawing, showcasing her artistic spirit. Growing up, LaKayla shares a unique connection with her cousin, who she considers a sibling. As she looks towards her future, she envisions having her own business and is exploring other ways to make a positive impact on others, reflecting her ambition and desire to give back. What makes LaKayla truly remarkable is her infectious smile and laughter that light up any room she enters. She has faced challenges, including bullying and confidence issues stemming from the loss of a tooth earlier in life.
LaKayla's wants to get a Barnes and Noble gift card to go shopping for new books with her foster sisters. LaKayla, who faces challenges in reading and comprehension, recognizes the importance of improvement and knowledge. Having books for her to read will enhance her literacy skills and broaden her horizons as a freshman in high school.

"My 13 y.o. has dyslexia and can find reading pretty tough. It can be pretty hard if reading is a challenge. I know finding an exciting book at the library can help make him feel good about his reading skills. I know how much a new book of your own can bring so much joy. I hope you find something really fun to read and it helps you feel confident. You've got this!"
