Cookie is a strong and determined young girl facing tough challenges rooted in her difficult past, including experiences of domestic violence. She may have ADHD and high-functioning autism and is currently receiving early intervention. These struggles heighten her feelings of shame, which impact her self-confidence. Despite these obstacles, Cookie’s inner strength shines through, especially in her passion for singing and her dreams of attending dance school. Her advanced abilities set her apart, showcasing her unique talents. Additionally, she finds joy and comfort in drawing and playing with her older sister, activities that provide her a sense of happiness amidst her struggles.

Cookie is starting school this week and needs more clothes since her new school doesn't have uniforms. Following a recent growth spurt, her current options no longer fit well. Her mom is struggling financially and faces challenges from being a single mother and a victim of domestic violence. This makes it hard for her to provide for both Cookie and her sister. Getting new sweatsuits would really help Cookie. It would lift her spirits and boost her confidence as she navigates this new chapter in her life, especially while living with autism.
