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 requesting an air purifier because living with asthma makes everyday breathing feel challenging. Cleaner air would help reduce triggers such as dust, allergens, and pollutants in her environment, making it easier for her to breathe and feel comfortable at home. For Justine, this would help with improving her health, supporting her well-being, and creating a safer environment where she can rest and thrive without constantly worrying about her asthma symptoms.
