Hope in a Suitcase

Justine is a bright and creative girl with a deep love for animals and all things art. She finds joy in painting, drawing, and using her imagination to create colorful, expressive pieces. Justine has been through a lot in her young life, navigating the foster care system with courage and resilience. Despite the challenges she’s faced, she remains kind, curious, and full of heart. She lights up any room with her energy and finds small ways to bring happiness to those around her. Justine shows a beautiful balance of sensitivity, strength, and creativity. She is truly special, not only for her artistic talent and gentle nature but also for the quiet determination she shows every day.

Justine is really looking forward to the new school year, but she has a problem—she has outgrown all her clothes, and her family can’t afford to buy new ones. As she gets ready to go back to school, she dreams of going on a shopping trip where she can choose clothes that fit and some supplies that will make her feel good about herself. Justine wants to feel like she belongs. When kids feel comfortable and confident about how they look, it helps them do better in school, make friends, and grow. Getting some new clothes would mean a lot to her. It would help Justine walk into class feeling proud and ready to learn. This is wish 1 of 2.
