Raf has had his eye on a Retro North Face winter coat for a while, and it means so much to him—more than just staying warm. To him, it represents confidence and identity. Having grown up in foster care, he often felt like he was just blending into the background, invisible to the world. He believes that by wearing a stylish coat, he could stand out and feel empowered, making a statement about who he is. Having this super nice coat is about how it could transform his self-perception and how he thinks others see him. Beyond the warmth it provides, the coat would shield him from the chill of life's many struggles. For Raf, it would be a constant reminder that he, like all foster children, is valuable and deserving of feeling proud of himself.
