Journ, 6 years old, PA | NEEDED BY 04/24

Wish submitted by:

Journ and her five siblings entered foster care due to concerns about abuse in their biological home. Although they are currently living in separate homes, Journ makes a conscious effort to stay connected with her siblings, whom she misses dearly. Fortunately, she is residing with a family she knows well and has lived with before, which provides her with a sense of comfort and familiarity during this challenging time. Journ has a bright smile and a love for playing outside, always eager to stay active. Despite the difficulties she has faced, she remains hopeful and looks forward to the possibility of being reunited with her siblings one day.

Journ arrived at her foster home with hardly anything—no clothes, no toiletries, not even a jacket to keep her warm. The shoes she was wearing were two sizes too small, leaving her toes cramped and uncomfortable. Despite this, she spotted a pair of purple Nike sneakers and instantly fell in love, as purple is her favorite color!
