A pair of roller skates for Serina to join roller derby

Posted Apr 23, 2024
Serina is struggling to find activities outside of her new small family home that are healthy, low-cost, and excite her. In February, her mother took her roller skating for their visit, which she enjoyed. During her last team meeting, several team members mentioned that she would make a great “Derby Girl,” which brought her an innocent, shy, and sweet smile that most hadn't seen before. This gift will encourage her to explore this hobby that could make her feel special and tough in a healthy way. It would also offer a path towards establishing friendships with other women who may provide her mentorship and inspiration about her future. She has a birthday coming up and would be so excited to open these skates on her birthday!

Serina is 16 years old and lives in CA

Serina entered the system after her mother was not able to care for her due to her mental health issues. Serina was treated in a facility and has made so much improvement that she is now living in a small foster home where she is able to enjoy age-appropriate activities and freedom for the first time since entering the facility. Serina has really enjoyed getting to be outside and playing in the sun. She is adjusting well to her newfound freedom and to the family. They say she is a joy to have in their home and want to provide her with much-needed normalcy and love.
