A trendy winter coat for Rob to feel cozy and protected

Posted Feb 3, 2025
Rob is requesting a trendy winter coat for warmth and as a symbol of his independence and self-expression. Adjusting to life in foster care has been challenging for him, and sometimes, it feels like he's disconnected from everything around him. A new coat would help boost his confidence as he faces the harsh winter weather while also navigating the emotional hurdles that come with his new circumstances. Clothing has the power to instill confidence, helping him feel like he belongs in a place that often feels unfamiliar. Through fashion, he can stay connected to himself and the dreams he's working hard to achieve. A new winter coat would provide the warmth he needs and remind him that he is strong, resilient, and worthy of the same opportunities to express himself as anyone else. It would help him stay cozy and protected from the cold, ensuring he's comfortable no matter what he’s doing. The new coat would also show him that his efforts are appreciated and that he deserves something nice for all his hard work. Having a new coat would help him feel more confident and ready to take on anything without worrying about being cold.

Rob is 13 years old and lives in NY

Rob’s life changed when he entered foster care, leaving him feeling lost and uncertain about his place in the world. He found comfort in his passions—anime, basketball, bike riding, and video games—escaping into these activities when everything felt overwhelming. Rob struggled with the absence of his biological family and the difficulty of trying to reconnect with them. Every night, he wondered what was happening with his family, feeling the distance between them grow. One day, while bike riding, Rob felt a sense of hope—perhaps reconnecting with his family wasn’t impossible. Though still uncertain about his future, Rob stayed determined, knowing that his path would unfold with time. Through it all, he kept pushing forward, finding strength in the things he loved and in the belief that he could rebuild the connections he longed for.
