NJ DCFS - Essex County

Gianni is currently in out-of-home care. She is a bright and curious girl with a passion for science. She's always looking for her next great read and has a competitive spirit on the tennis court. Gianni's hobbies are conducting science experiments, devouring books, and playing tennis. Her favorite subject in school is science, and she cannot stop talking about how much she loves it. She still has not found another book to take the place of her all-time favorite, "A Wrinkle in Time." Gianni's dream job is to be a research scientist or astrophysicist. Fun fact about Gianni: she has already built her own mini rocket and can name every planet in the solar system.

Gianni is growing quickly and needs clothes that can keep up with her. She fell in love with a Nike hoodie in the store, describing it as soft and warm—perfect for chilly mornings on her way to school or outings with friends to the movies or the mall. She imagines layering it over her everyday outfits, giving her a sense of comfort and coziness. For Gianni, this hoodie isn’t just practical—it also helps her express her growing sense of identity.
