The Friends of Foster Care

Wynn is a thoughtful, creative, and determined young woman who loves basketball and plays on her school’s team. Having experienced several changes in foster care, she can be quiet and guarded, often expressing herself through writing in her notebook. She has a bold, edgy style, enjoys making bracelets for her teammates, and carries her owl water bottle everywhere. Wynn dreams of becoming a sports journalist and sharing the stories of athletes who don't always get heard. Beneath her tough exterior, she has a caring side and is looking for people who appreciate both.

Wynn has been borrowing balls for years, and a basketball of her own would let her practice whenever she wants. She could shoot around at the park, work on her handles, and put in the extra hours that make a good player great. It’s also a ball she can keep through every move, a piece of her game that no one can ask her to return. For a girl who feels most like herself on the court, it’s the most important piece of equipment she could own.
