Taylor's life has had its ups and downs, but her resilience has always shone through. When her mother was incarcerated, she faced uncertainty and was placed in foster care. Fortunately, her best friend's parents stepped in, legally adopting her and providing a stable home. This fresh start brought Taylor the peace and support she needed. In her free time, Taylor found solace in baking. She experimented with recipes, creating decadent cupcakes and layered cakes that delighted her family. Baking became her way to express herself and nurture those who had given her a second chance at happiness.

Taylor is asking for a new pair of pink basketball shorts to wear when she’s playing with her friends at the park. Basketball is one of her favorite ways to stay active, have fun, and connect with others, and having the right gear helps her feel confident and comfortable on the court. Her current shorts are getting worn out, and she would love a fresh pair—specifically in pink, her favorite color—to express her style while she plays. Whether it’s a quick game after school or a weekend shootaround, having shorts that fit well and feel good would mean a lot to her as she continues doing what she loves.
