Fresh sneakers for Juliana that will make her feel confident

Posted Mar 6, 2025
Juliana wants a new pair of Jordans because her old ones are worn out. She believes that a fresh pair will boost her confidence and help her express herself. When she wears new shoes, she feels empowered and ready to tackle the day with self-assurance. Whether she’s at school, hanging out with friends, or going about her daily activities, having new shoes would make her feel amazing. She is excited about the prospect of feeling good about herself again.

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.
