Michelle has experienced multiple home placements and is currently under the care of the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P). Recently, she and her two sisters were reunited and found shared housing after the loss of their mother last year. Michelle is a witty and energetic girl who treats others with respect. However, her challenging upbringing has had a negative impact on her academic performance. She has also faced significant health issues. Despite these obstacles, Michelle remains optimistic about her future, even while dealing with housing instability and ongoing health concerns.

Michelle wishes for a Burlington gift card so she can buy some new clothes. She has lost a significant amount of weight due to ongoing treatment for a chronic health condition, and she would love the chance to visit her favorite store. She wants to select shirts and pants for the upcoming change in season, which would also help boost her self-esteem.
