Ugg boots for Kendall’s birthday

Posted Jan 21, 2025
Kendall is an amazing young lady whose birthday is quickly approaching. She is in need of weather-appropriate footwear for the cold winter days. Currently, she wears hand-me-down boots that are too small for her. For her special day, Kendall is asking for a brand new pair of boots, particularly UGG boots, which she knows her grandmother cannot afford. Kendall would like the opportunity to wear something of her choice, rather than something given to her by someone else. Her family has always struggled with financial issues, and now she also faces challenges related to trauma and a learning disability. Kendall’s situation is challenging; her mother has been labeled mentally unfit and can no longer care for her and her sister. As a result, her elderly grandmother took her in to prevent her from going into foster care. However, raising a child is difficult for her grandmother due to her limited income, which barely covers her bills. Despite these challenges, Grandma loves her granddaughter deeply and is actively seeking assistance to ensure that Kendall does not enter foster care. These new boots will not only be durable and warm for Kendall but will also be trendy, helping to boost her confidence as she transitions into a new phase of her life.

Kendall is 11 years old and lives in NJ

Kendall is a remarkable young girl who has faced significant challenges in her life. Due to her mother’s struggles with mental health, her grandmother took on the responsibility of raising her to prevent her from entering the foster care system. Unfortunately, Kendall's mother may never regain her role due to serious circumstances that affected both Kendall and her sibling. Kendall herself has developed challenges requiring frequent therapy and suffering from night terrors. Despite it all, she is a shy, sweet girl with a creative spirit. She enjoys drawing, cooking, playing video games, and watching movies. Kendall expresses herself beautifully and loves giving hugs and creating heartfelt cards for others.
