A Lonely Child’s Silent Hope

Weeks turned into months and months into years, but Olive remained alone. Despite her circumstances, she clung to her optimism, always searching for the silver lining. Each night, she closed her eyes and dreamed of a family—a real one—that would love her unconditionally and give her the home she longed for.

Like every child in the foster care system, Olive wrestled with the loss of the parents she never knew. Even without memories to cling to, the ache of abandonment lingered, making her feel isolated in a way she couldn’t always explain. But through it all, her hope refused to fade, keeping her dreams alive.
