Three piece luggage set for Lily who was approved to move out of state

Posted Sep 9, 2024
Lily is a remarkable young girl with a vibrant personality. She has been living in a foster home while waiting to see if her aunt could be approved to take care of her. Recently she received the news and is excited about the idea of moving to a new place, but she's also sad to leave the people she has come to call family. While she would love to be adopted by her current foster family, she understands that her out-of-state aunt has been working hard to ensure she gets to stay with her blood relatives and grow up with her cousins. Lily looks forward to showing her aunt her musical skills and maybe one day teaching her cousins how to play the guitar. She needs a luggage set that can hold all her belongings as she travels to be reunited with her relatives. Her tentative move day is over the fall break in October, and her foster parents will be making the long 1400-mile drive to reintroduce Lily to her relatives and say their goodbyes.

Lily is 8 years old and lives in AZ

Lily is a very sweet and inquisitive child. Lily has been placed in a foster home after spending some time in kinship care. She is making great strides in sharing her emotions. She recently received news that she will moving to live with her aunt out of state.

"Hi Lily. How’s the guitar playing & songwriting going? We saw your new wish & want to help you on the move to be with your aunt & cousins. As a future rockstar, you now get to play for them. It says a lot about you as a person & budding musician that one day you may be teaching your cousins to play guitar too. It shows how special you are. As you travel with your foster family, watch the scenery on the road. It might inspire a new song in your heart!! Remember to write it down. Rock on! “V” & “T"
