Take A Walk With Me
The book tells a story of foster care — of loss and uncertainty, and of hope, belonging and restoration. It gives a girl words for what she has lived through, and a picture of a future that is still being written.

This is a mission-focused way to provide a Gift of Hope for a girl in foster care — not a store. Providing or sponsoring a Gift of Hope is not described here as a charitable donation.
A Clara Jean rag doll
The doll carries a tangible message she can hold on to:
“You are seen. You are valuable. Your story matters. And where you begin does not determine where you will finish.”
THE STORY BEHIND CLARA JEAN
Clara Jean is more than a doll.
Clara Jean began as a simple rag doll and became a way of saying something a child in foster care rarely hears often enough: you are seen, you are valuable, and your story matters. Her story is about hope, belonging and restoration — and about the truth that where a child begins does not determine where she will finish. A fuller telling of Clara Jean's story will eventually live at its own home online.
