A Clean Set of Nail Clippers for Kristiona to care for her nails properly without worry

Posted Mar 16, 2023
Kristiona's fingernail clippers are currently old, rusty, and really dull. They were hand-me-downs from when she was in High School. She would like to be able to have this set so she can safely cut her fingernails without fear of cutting herself and introducing rust. Plus it’s really important to her, as a teacher of toddlers, to maintain short fingernails for their safety and make hand washing easier as she washes her hands after all diaper changes 4-5 times a day plus after various activities throughout the day.

Kristiona is 29 years old and lives in CO

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.
