Justine’s story is one of strength and perseverance. Growing up, she faced the challenges of moving between foster homes and spending time in juvenile detention, which left her feeling unsettled. Despite these difficulties, Justine has maintained a hopeful spirit and an eagerness to find joy in everyday life. For the past year, she has been in a loving foster home that provides her with the stability and acceptance she has longed for. In her free time, Justine enjoys jumping rope, hula hooping, and roller skating, which bring her joy and a sense of freedom. Looking ahead, she dreams of working with animals, inspired by her compassion and curiosity. Justine hopes to create a life where she can give back the kindness she has received on her own journey.

Justine wishes for a pair of new swim bottoms to go with her swimsuit. her current ones no longer fit properly and would like a comfortable, well-fitting replacement. She’s hoping to find a style that matches her top and allows her to feel confident and comfortable so she can continue her lover for swimming.
