Shopping spree for Serena so she can pick out her own birthday gifts

Posted Oct 18, 2024
Serena has experienced a series of heartaches and disappointments lately. After feeling let down after several potential adoptive families fell through, she has carried the weight of feeling unwanted for far too long. As her birthday approaches, she mustered the courage to ask her advocate for a small gift, still protecting herself in case it wasn't possible. Serena's wish is for the chance to shop for her own cool lotions and soaps on Amazon. Having the power to shop for herself is an empowering gift that will help remind her that there are people who deeply care for her happiness and well-being, and that she is indeed worthy of love and belonging.

Serena is 14 years old and lives in CA

Serena has spent several years in foster care along with her four siblings. Over time, they have all been placed in different homes. Despite this, Serena has remained resilient and is hopeful that they will be reunified in the future. She enjoys attending football games, getting her hair done, and participating in the school band. Although she has moved to many different schools, she has shown great strength throughout all these challenges.
