Judy, 8 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Judy lives with her grandparents, who became her foster parents after she entered kinship care. Their house feels warm and safe, filled with the smell of her grandma’s cooking and her grandpa’s old country music playing softly in the background. Even though life has changed a lot for Judy, she’s learning that family can look different but still feel like love. Her grandparents make sure she has what she needs and remind her every day that she is strong, brave, and deeply cared for. Judy loves being outdoors, especially playing soccer. She enjoys the thrill of running on the field, feeling the wind in her hair, and hearing her friends cheer her on when she scores. After school, she and her friends go to the park to play tag, climb on the jungle gym, or kick a soccer ball until sunset. In those moments, Judy feels happy and free, laughing with friends and appreciating the joy, support, and love from her family.

Judy is hoping for a baby pink Nike jacket, which is especially meaningful to her because baby pink is her favorite color. She also truly needs a new jacket right now, and having one that she loves would make a big difference in both comfort and confidence during colder days. A warm, reliable Nike jacket would help her stay protected from the weather while giving her something she feels good wearing. This jacket would be a practical need and a small source of joy for Judy.
