SD DSS - Pennington County

Julia is an outgoing student who lives in care, along with her two siblings, after her parents’ rights were recently terminated. She is determined to finish high school and dreams of being the first in her family to achieve this milestone. Julia sets goals for herself and works hard to reach them. She also loves to read.

Julia is eager to find a large dresser for her new room as she settles into her home with extended family. Currently, the space is bare of furniture, which only adds to her desire for a designated area to keep her belongings organized. She has her heart set on a dresser with six drawers, ensuring that she and her siblings each have their own space. Julia envisions having two drawers for herself and sharing the other four among her siblings. This arrangement would not only help her maintain a neat and tidy environment, but also foster a sense of security and belonging in their new surroundings. Julia believes that having a dresser would be the perfect birthday present, marking a significant step toward feeling more settled at home.
