Simple SparrowCaitlin is kind, generous, and an excellent helper. She has spent a long time in foster care and is currently living in a group home. Caitlin is focused on her education and has a deep love for animals. She hopes to become a K9 officer in the Army one day, and she also enjoys machining and welding, which she pursues as extracurricular activities at school. In her free time, she volunteers at a local farm, helping to care for the animals. Everyone who meets Caitlin comments on the joy she brings to their lives!
Caitlin is observing Ramadan, one of the most meaningful times of the year in her faith tradition. As a Muslim youth without family support, she does not have anyone in her life who can provide the cultural and religious clothing that is customary for this holiday. An abaya is not simply a garment for her; it is a symbol of belonging, dignity, and connection to her identity during a month that emphasizes community, spirituality, and self-reflection.
