Hope in a Suitcase

Talia has spent much of her life in foster care, moving between homes and facing many challenges along the way. Through every transition, she’s held onto her gentle spirit and kind heart. Talia finds comfort in reading and art, where she can escape into her imagination and express emotions she often keeps to herself. What makes Talia truly special is her resilience and hope. Despite the hardships she’s faced, she continues to believe in brighter days ahead and dreams of having a stable, loving place to call home. Her courage, creativity, and unwavering determination to keep going inspire everyone who meets her.

Talia has recently received the wonderful news that she has secured permanent housing, which is a significant step toward stability and independence. She is excited to move into her new studio home at the beginning of the new year. However, until her move-in date, she currently has no secure place to store her belongings. Although the property manager has kindly allowed her to keep her items on-site, there isn't a safe area to protect them from the weather or theft. Talia is requesting assistance in acquiring a storage shed to keep her belongings safe until she can move in. In the meantime, she will be staying temporarily with friends and wants to ensure that her few possessions, which she has worked hard to maintain, are not lost or damaged. Having this shed would provide her with peace of mind and a sense of security as she prepares to begin this new and hopeful chapter in her life.
