Molly entered foster care as a toddler. Too young to understand why she couldn’t stay with her birth mother and too young to grasp why she kept moving from one home to the next. 

Each move made it harder for Molly to trust, each new place a reminder that nothing felt permanent. “It felt like I was always guarding my heart, just in case I had to leave again,” she recalls.  

For Molly, foster care was a road of uncertainty. She felt like she was constantly playing “catch up” with her peers, and didn’t think much of her own future.  

But through The Pyjama Foundation’s Teen Life Skills program, Molly found hope. Her volunteer Pyjama Angel mentor became her friend, her confidant, her steady source of encouragement. With that one-on-one support, Molly began to believe in herself. She’s now building the skills and confidence that open doors to a brighter future. 

This Christmas, your gift can give young people like Molly the chance to rewrite their stories and step toward a life filled with hope and endless possibility. Give the gift to last a lifetime this Christmas.
