CA DCFS - Los Angeles County

Jeanie is an incredible young lady who currently lives in a foster home, separate from her four siblings. Although foster care has been challenging for her, she remains hopeful and dedicated to her education. Jeanie dreams of becoming a hairstylist one day. She consistently demonstrates kindness and good manners.

Jeanie has always seen fashion as a powerful way to express her individuality. She fondly remembers shopping trips with her mother, moments that brought her joy but are now tinged with a sense of longing. Lately, she's faced challenges in connecting with her peers and feeling part of her community. For Jeanie, owning clean, well-fitting, and stylish boots would be more than just a fashion choice; it would give her a sense of normalcy and help her feel included, especially in school and social situations. This small, yet significant, change would boost her self-esteem and ease the feelings of isolation that sometimes creep in. Plus, these waterproof boots will keep her feet warm!
