Judy, 8 years old, OR |

Wish submitted by:

Judy lives with her grandparents, who became her foster parents after she entered kinship care. Their house feels warm and safe, filled with the smell of her grandma’s cooking and her grandpa’s old country music playing softly in the background. Even though life has changed a lot for Judy, she’s learning that family can look different but still feel like love. Her grandparents make sure she has what she needs and remind her every day that she is strong, brave, and deeply cared for. Judy loves being outdoors, especially playing soccer. She enjoys the thrill of running on the field, feeling the wind in her hair, and hearing her friends cheer her on when she scores. After school, she and her friends go to the park to play tag, climb on the jungle gym, or kick a soccer ball until sunset. In those moments, Judy feels happy and free, laughing with friends and appreciating the joy, support, and love from her family.

Judy’s birthday is coming up, and she can’t stop thinking about the cute pink Uggs she saw at the store last weekend. She imagines how soft and warm they would feel on her feet when the cold weather hits. Every time she walks by the shoe aisle, her eyes light up at the sight of them—fluffy, cozy, and the perfect bubblegum pink. She’s been dropping hints to her mom, helping out more at home, and even wrote “pink Uggs” at the top of her wish list. For Judy, those boots aren’t just shoes; they’re a little piece of happiness she can wear every day.
