Vangie is a resilient and reflective young adult who recently aged out of foster care. They have endured significant hardship but remains determined to move forward with optimism. They are currently working part-time and focusing on building independence and emotional resilience. Vangie is working on budgeting, communication, and self-advocacy—key skills for adulthood. Despite past struggles, they greet each day with hope and is actively looking for tools and resources that can help them succeed. Their ultimate goal is a stable, empowered future where they can advocate for themselves and others.

Vangie is rebuilding stability after aging out of foster care and learning to take care of themself—body, mind, and soul. Comfortable, cute, and versatile, these socks will help them feel confident and cozy whether they're running errands, attending a workshop, or just relaxing at home. With limited resources, even everyday basics like socks can be hard to prioritize, so this gift would offer both comfort and care as they step forward into this new chapter.
