Justine’s story is one of strength and perseverance. Growing up, she faced the challenges of moving between foster homes and spending time in juvenile detention, which left her feeling unsettled. Despite these difficulties, Justine has maintained a hopeful spirit and an eagerness to find joy in everyday life. For the past year, she has been in a loving foster home that provides her with the stability and acceptance she has longed for. In her free time, Justine enjoys jumping rope, hula hooping, and roller skating, which bring her joy and a sense of freedom. Looking ahead, she dreams of working with animals, inspired by her compassion and curiosity. Justine hopes to create a life where she can give back the kindness she has received on her own journey.

Justine is starting her first part-time job as a receptionist on the weekends, and she needs a few new work outfits as soon as possible—specifically, dress pants appropriate for a professional office setting. She wants to show up looking polished and confident, but right now she doesn’t have the proper work attire for the role. Any support to help her get dress pants and basic work clothes ASAP would make a huge difference as she steps into this new opportunity.
