Hope in a Suitcase

Julian has experienced many changes throughout his foster care journey. He entered foster care one year ago, and he has had to adapt to new environments and people, learning resilience and strength along the way. Despite the challenges he has faced, Julian continues to move forward with a positive spirit. Basketball has become one of Julian’s favorite outlets. Whether he’s playing at the park or shooting hoops after school, the game gives him a sense of freedom, confidence, and belonging. He also enjoys spending time with friends, building connections that bring him laughter, support, and a sense of normalcy.

There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Julian with an extra surprise to open on their special day. Although their celebrations may look different this year, it will remind them that they are valued and remembered on this important occasion!
