Daila is a young girl who has spent half her life in foster care, often labeled as the "troubled kid." With her dad incarcerated and her mom deemed mentally ill and unfit to care for her children, Daila felt unwanted and isolated, especially as her siblings were scattered across different homes. Fortunately, Daila has found a forever home where she feels genuinely loved by her foster mom and foster sister. She is now part of various support groups and plays basketball at her school. Sharing a room with her foster sister, she admires the cool sneakers her sister owns—sneakers that her sister bought with the money she earned from her summer job, along with a few pairs gifted by their dad to support her passion for sneakers. Daila dreams of one day building her own collection of sneakers to wear on the basketball court. However, during her time in care, Daila lost many treasured belongings, including a pair of trendy, comfortable sneakers that had been given to her. Those sneakers were stolen by her previous roommate when she was discharged, which is a common occurrence for teens living in group homes. With her birthday approaching, Daila hopes to replace the sneakers that were taken from her. Her foster mom has a limited income, and while Daila receives a small monthly stipend that covers enough for snacks after school, it leaves very little extra for anything beyond basic needs. In contrast, her foster sister’s sneaker collection came from her hard work over the summer, allowing her to buy the things she wanted. This request holds special significance for Daila, as it represents a loss that deeply affected her. Granting this wish would bring her immense joy and make it one of her best gifts. Daila promises to take great care of the new sneakers, cherishing them as a symbol of her newfound happiness and love.
