Allyona, or Ally as she prefers to be called, is a remarkable young girl who has experienced a complex journey in foster care. She has moved between many homes due to circumstances beyond her control, yet she has faced these challenges with bravery and resilience. Currently, Ally is on an adoption journey and is still discovering where her forever home will be. Ally loves playing lacrosse, riding her bike, spending time with friends, being part of the running team, swimming, crafting, and enjoying movie nights with her foster parents. She is an avid reader and has big dreams for her future.

Ally wished for a journal and art kit that would provide a safe space to express herself during a significant time in her life. Through drawing, coloring, and writing, she can explore her feelings and celebrate her thoughts. Having a place to capture her ideas and emotions helps her feel more confident, reflect on her experiences, and find comfort in knowing that her thoughts are important. It’s not just about having art supplies; it’s a way for her to express herself, grow, and heal. Ally enjoys bright colors, flowers, hearts, and anything with a bit of sparkle.
