A Shopping Spree for Catarina before she returns home

Posted Feb 2, 2022
Catarina will soon have the opportunity to reunite with family in her native country. She is looking forward to re-connecting with those she has not seen in over a year. Before she leaves, she'd like to make one last trip to buy school supplies, a winter jacket and new boots.

Catarina is 18 years old and lives in CA

Catarina is a very shy but often smiling teenager who has been in foster care since 2020. She arrived as an Unaccompanied minor from Guatemala and has no family in the U.S. This was a very scary transition and she has been so brave. Catarina is very helpful and respectful in her foster home and has been learning and slowly understanding about why she was paced in foster care. Catarina is dynamic in the sense that she has picked up the English language and immersed in all English academic studies. She enjoys athletics, music and has a profound appreciation for the graphic arts.
