Heart shaped birthstone ring for Juliana to celebrate her birthday

Posted Mar 6, 2025
Juliana is looking forward to her 16th birthday and wants to make it unforgettable. One of the things she hopes to receive is a heart shaped birthstone ring. The ring will represent love, strength, and her personal journey and her coming-of-age. Having the particular piece of jewelry will be a beautiful reminder of how far she’s come and the love that surrounds her now. Having something so meaningful that she can wear every day would truly make this milestone birthday even more special for her.

Juliana is 16 years old and lives in OR

Juliana was eight when her life changed dramatically after her parents were deported, placing her in foster care. She moved from home to home in multiple placements, feeling increasingly lost and disconnected from her culture. The unfamiliar food and absent traditions left her feeling lonely and out of place. After years of searching for a sense of belonging, Juliana is finally with a foster family that understands and embraces her. They make an effort to connect with her background by preparing familiar meals and celebrating her traditions. For the first time, Juliana feels safe and accepted, shedding the weight of isolation for a sense of comfort and belonging.
