Katelynn is a bright young girl who always tries her best. Right now, she’s living with her grandmother and sister in California after moving from New York to be closer to family. They had to leave behind a lot of their belongings, which made starting over tough. Despite the challenges, Katelynn stays positive and always smiles. She loves photography and sports, especially volleyball. Katelynn would like to join a photography club or even start one herself to meet others who share her interests. She also hopes to try out for her new school’s volleyball team since she's always wanted to be part of a team. Watching college volleyball games on TV has inspired her, and her big dream is to go to USC to play volleyball and study photography. Eventually, she wants to run her own photography business.

Katelynn is hoping for a new pair of her favorite shoes. She is currently in the foster care system, living with her grandmother and sister. Katelynn wishes for these shoes because she had to leave her last pair behind at her previous home in New York. She was absolutely devastated to leave them and is hoping someone can grant her wish. Having these shoes would not only bring her joy but also provide her with a new pair as she starts the upcoming academic year.
