A camera for Melanie to capture all of the special moments

Posted Jan 7, 2025
Melanie enjoys spending time with her younger siblings and always seeks out fun activities together. Recently, she’s become interested in photography and capturing memories that reflect a healthy and loving lifestyle. She would like a camera to take photos throughout her time in foster care to create a meaningful photo album that she can keep forever. Melanie feels that making this photo album will help her remember the special moments with her siblings and serve as a reminder of her growth and experiences. She is excited to look back on these memories in the future, seeing how far she’s come and cherishing the bonds she’s built along the way. A camera will allow her a new creative outlet and a positive way to reflect on her journey, inspiring her to continue building lasting memories with those she loves.
