Hope in a Suitcase

Diego is a resilient and thoughtful young person with a big heart. Since entering foster care, he has experienced three different placements, each shaping his strength and adaptability. Now, he’s with a foster family working toward adoption, and he’s finally starting to feel safe, supported, and at home. Diego loves basketball and is excited to join the school team this year. He’s active, motivated, and thrives when he’s part of a team. He also enjoys drawing, video games, and building with Legos. His creativity and problem-solving skills shine through in everything he does.

Diego wants a new pair of basketball shoes to feel confident as he joins his school’s basketball team. The shoes match his school uniform and team jersey, helping him fit in. After going through many foster placements, Diego is finally in a stable home and is excited for a fresh start. These shoes would support his love for basketball and represent his growth and hope for the future.
