My Temporary Home is a heartfelt story about Lily, a young girl placed in foster care after being removed from her unstable home. Through Lily’s eyes, readers witness the confusion, loneliness, and emotional weight that children in the foster system often carry. Though she is now in a safer environment, Lily must learn to navigate the unfamiliar silence of stability and begin her journey toward healing. The book is a tender, emotionally honest exploration of trauma, resilience, and the search for belonging—and it's inspired by my own experiences growing up in foster care in the Bronx. The message behind My Temporary Home is urgently relevant today. With so many children still caught in cycles of trauma, neglect, and displacement, this story gives voice to their silent struggles. 

In a world that often overlooks the emotional lives of foster youth, this book reminds us that behind every case file is a child just trying to feel safe, seen, and loved. It encourages readers—parents, educators, social workers, and kids—to have deeper empathy and more honest conversations about healing and home. Rodriguez wrote My Temporary Home not just for the children still caught in the system, but also for the adults who grew up in it and never got the chance to tell their stories. It’s a reflection of who she is, where she’s been, and the love she is determined to pour into the world—one page, one person, one purpose at a time.

About the Author

Raquel Rodriguez, known by as Roxii, was raised in the Bronx, where she spent her entire childhood in foster care until she aged out at eighteen. That experience—being moved from home to home, carrying her whole life in a trash bag, and learning to survive in chaos—shaped Rodriguez into who she is and planted the seeds for the work that she does today.

Now, she lives in Virginia and serves as a Housing Liaison with Creative Pathways Inc, helping individuals and families find stable, affordable housing—often when they’re at their lowest point. It’s more than a job to Rodriguez—it’s a calling. She knows what it’s like to feel displaced, to be overlooked, and to not have a voice. That’s why she’s made it her mission to be that voice for others and help them find not just shelter, but dignity, safety, and hope. Outside of her professional work, she is also a single mom to beautiful children who are the heart of her world and the reason she continues to push forward. 

Additionally, she is the founder and future owner of Raven’s Market, a minority woman-owned grocery store in Hartford, Connecticut. Raven’s Market is being built with the same heart as her book: to serve the underserved, nourish the community, and create a space where everyone belongs. When Rodriguez isn’t working or writing, you can usually find her spending time with her kids, catching up on true-crime shows, love cooking big meals, dreaming up ways to uplift others, and using her story to inspire change.

The gentlest, most hydrating and calming baby and sensitive skin moisturizer
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My go-to cream, even 8 years later when my babies are no longer babies. Calming, moisturizing, and so gentle. My kids and I can often get burning from other creams labeled for sensitive skin/fragrance free but this one doesn’t cause that. Superior product!

Excelente
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought this cream for my baby because my skin was very dry and irritated, and I really liked it. From the first days I noticed that the skin was more hydrated and less reddened. I like that it has no fragrance, which is ideal for babies with sensitive skin. The texture is soft, absorbs well and does not leave the skin greasy. In addition, it yields a lot because with a small amount it is enough. I definitely recommend it for babies with dry skin or prone to eczema. It has worked very well for me and I would buy it again.

Great product for babies!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great product. Switched from Aveeno Ezcema cream to Eucerin and I have no regrets. The cream helped reduce my little ones flare ups and it doesn’t leave a greasy feeling afterwards. I use it all over his body. He’s 51/2 months now and his skin is smooth and barely any redness or inflammation.

HOLY GRAIL for baby’s eczema!!!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The ONLY lotion that helps our baby’s eczema prone skin!!! It not only prevents flair ups, but it calms & soothes his skin when flair ups do happen. It’s not greasy, it rubs in pretty well with some effort, it’s thick & has no smell which is great for sensitive skin. Lotion is just expensive regardless of what kind you get, but we feel like this splurge is worth it for our guys skin.

Effective!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This works wonders for our baby’s eczema! He had several rough patches on his arms, legs and cheeks and so far everything has cleared up except his arms, they will occasionally flare up but the cream helps soothe and reduce redness within a couple hours. It’s also a nice hand lotion for me, lol
