Picturing A Home For Every Child

Acacia [portrait by Andrea Salazar]

Nine year old Acacia is a third grader who loves to dance and will show off her moves if you ask her to. Her foster family says Acacia has a generous and affectionate spirit and is quick to share her belongings with others. Acacia would thrive with a routine-based family willing to provide her with support and advocacy so she can reach her full potential academically. She would also benefit from one on one attention, which could include doing puzzles, art projects and brain-teasers with her.
