Cassondra, 11 years old, MO

Wish submitted by:

Cassondra is a creative, bright, and outgoing young person who brings energy and warmth wherever she goes. Navigating her journey in foster care with strength and optimism, she stays connected to what she loves most—riding horses, exploring the outdoors, and expressing her artistic talents. Smart, friendly, and naturally engaging, Cassondra excels in school and easily builds meaningful friendships. What makes her story especially sweet is finding permanent stability with her beloved grandmother, where she continues to thrive surrounded by love, security, and endless support.

Cassondra has a specific style in mind for the upcoming school year. A key part of this style is a new backpack. She doesn't want a traditional bag; instead, she is looking for a one-strap sling backpack. Recently, she has been really drawn to the color black, so this type of bag would be perfect for her.
