Kristiona was placed in foster care at the age of two. She was adopted but later bounced around from foster home to foster home at the age of nine. After being returned to foster care, she aged out. Despite facing everyday obstacles and medical issues, Kristiona became independent and started her college journey, which has been successful. She has graduated with her Bachelor's degree and is now looking to continue her education to work with children. Currently, she works as a teacher at an early head start preschool and enjoys every moment of it. Kristiona is committed to breaking the generational cycle of abuse and lack of education. Her ultimate goal is to own and run a summer camp for children in foster care, providing them with not only fun but also therapeutic and mentoring support.

"I appreciate you granting this wish because it will allow me to write down or draw at the end of the day how I’m feeling, to check in with myself and give myself permission to feel. At the end of the day no that it’s okay and start fresh for the next. It’s a gift of peace and a breathe of air at the end of the day. "
