NJ DCFS - Essex County

Ava has a bright and outgoing personality. She enjoys making slime with her brothers and loves playing pretend with her dolls, creating an entire world that she can immerse herself in. Ava is easy to get along with and enjoys making friends wherever she goes. She also loves outdoor activities, such as coloring the sidewalk with chalk, flying kites, playing water games, swimming, catching lightning bugs, and playing softball. At home, she can engage in her imaginary games for hours. Ava receives support from the Department of Children and Families Services.

Ava will feel less stressed if she has all the necessary school supplies. She hopes to get a school supply kit that will help her focus on learning instead of trying to catch up at the beginning of the school year. Having her own complete set of supplies will make her feel more prepared and equal to her classmates. These supplies can also motivate her to work hard throughout the school year.
