Lily is a truly beautiful and inquisitive little girl who has recently found her forever home after being adopted from foster care. After a challenging time in kinship care where her needs went unmet, she was placed in a loving licensed foster home. Since then, Lily has made incredible strides in expressing her feelings and learning to navigate the trauma she has faced. Even on days that feel heavy, she radiates warmth and positivity, reminding everyone of her bright spirit. Though Lily has been welcomed into her adoptive family, the shadows of her past still linger. She continues to face hurdles linked to the difficult experiences she endured before her journey to foster care. However, surrounded by the unwavering love and nurturing environment of her new family, she is receiving the support and understanding she needs to flourish. With every step forward, Lily's resilience shines through, and her story is one of hope and enduring love.

Lily has just made the basketball team at her school, and she couldn't be more excited! Although she loves wearing boots all the time, she realizes that for basketball, she needs a reliable pair of court shoes. These shoes should help her run fast, provide excellent grip on the slick court, and keep her safe during games. Her dream is to have her first real pair of tennis shoes be Jordans, not only because they are stylish and flashy but also because they match her school colors! She started practice last week, and her first game is coming up in just two weeks. Lily can’t wait to hit the court and showcase her skills!
