Shoes for Gabriella to replace her worn out pair

Posted Nov 24, 2023
Gabriella and her family have had to get rid of a lot of personal belongings due to moving around so much. They are in a program to obtain secure housing. Gabriella has been teased at school for repeating outfits and having worn clothing and shoes. Gabriella feels as though if she had better shoes, it will help her fit in with her peers.

Gabriella is 13 years old and lives in NJ

Gabriella is a sweet girl who has been experiencing homelessness with her family for the past year. Her peers at school know her unfortunate circumstances, and unfortunately, some of the children tease her for a situation that she has no control over. Gabriella remains positive through all the housing instability and perseveres through all her adversity. Gabriella finds joy in being an aunt to her young niece, spending time with her mother, and reading books. Due to Gabriella’s lack of friends, she has found joy and comfort in doing things on her own. Gabriella prays daily, including her loved ones and even her caseworker.
