Emily’s journey has been shaped by resilience, as she has faced many challenges growing up in foster homes and group homes. Despite this instability, she has found comfort in her current kinship placement with her grandmother, who provides her with love and support. Having a safe and stable home has allowed Emily to start dreaming about her future. She loves spending time with her friends and often enjoys her favorite meals at Chipotle, where they share laughs and create memories. Music serves as her true escape; Emily dreams of becoming a guitar player. Whenever she plays or listens to music, she feels a release from the pain of her past. For Emily, music is not just a hobby; it's a pathway to healing and hope, reminding her that her story is still unfolding.

Emily is hoping for a new pair of UGG leggings, something she’s been wanting to add to her wardrobe. She loves how comfortable and stylish UGG leggings are, making them perfect for both relaxing at home and wearing out on casual days. A fresh pair would give her that cozy, put-together look she enjoys while also being practical and versatile for everyday wear.
