A pair of shoes for Mary to dance her way into 2nd grade

Posted Aug 4, 2023
Mary is super excited to go back to school next month! She's a big fan of reading and dancing, and she'll be starting 2nd grade. Her favorite colors are pink and purple, and she thinks a new pair of shoes for school would be a lovely present.

Mary is 8 years old and lives in VA

Mary is a quiet little girl who is living in a foster home with her twin sister Madilynn. Mary likes to read and color. Her favorite colors are yellow and green. Mary loves school and gets very good grades. Mary's artwork has been hung up in the local library. Mary is very close to her twin sister, and they support each other during this difficult time. Mary loves animals and wants a kitten for her birthday. Mary loves to be tucked in bed and get big hugs from her foster mom.
