Stella is a joyful and vibrant girl whose smile can brighten any room. She's incredibly smart and has a quick wit that brings laughter and warmth to those around her. Living in foster care with her sister, Stella has faced challenges but continues to approach each day with resilience and optimism. Her positive outlook is one of her greatest strengths—no matter the situation, she always finds something good in it. Stella openly shares her experiences, inspiring others with her honesty and courage. She loves being creative and spending time with the people she cares about. Whether she's doing makeup, making friendship bracelets, or chatting with friends, she puts her heart into everything. Stella’s imaginative spirit and passion for connection make her truly special. Stella is currently living with her foster mother alongside her older sister, Judith. The girls are excited about the opportunity to be adopted by their foster mother and are looking forward to becoming a permanent family. While they are happy about this new chapter, they also have mixed emotions about the changes it brings. Stella and Judith continue to maintain contact with their biological parents and cherish those relationships. Through it all, Stella remains hopeful, caring, and excited for what the future holds.

Estella really wants her own tablet. Her older sister has a cell phone, and Estella hopes having a tablet will help her feel connected and included too. With the school year ending, a tablet could help her keep learning through fun educational apps. Plus, when she gets to be with her dad again, having her own device would be special. Right now, she’s only used borrowed tablets, so having her own would mean a lot to her.
