New Van's for Cori who has dreamed of owning a pair for a long time

Posted Mar 27, 2018
For the past year Cori’s family has struggled with homelessness. Cori came into custody with one bag of clothes and one pair of shoes. With the amount that is being asked, Cori can get a full outfit from this store. Cori has never had a name brand shoe and has always desired a pair of Vans.

Cori is 23 years old and lives in NC

Cori has the biggest smile you have ever seen! Cori has such a big heart and loves being a big sister. She is in her junior year of high school. Although she aged-out of foster care one month ago, Cori continues to live with her two sisters in their kinship placement foster home, where Cori was also previously placed. She loves animals and learning more about them. Cori loves sports and shopping. In addition to attending school and playing volleyball, Cori also has a part time job as a waitress at a local restaurant. Cori really appreciates having her very own room there and her foster mom even helped her decorate. One of the most special additions to her new room is her hamster, Squishy. Cori loves taking care of and spending time with her little friend.
