Shoulder icepack for Kristiona who was injured at work

Posted May 31, 2023
Kristiona was recently involved in an accident while working on the playground where she teaches young children. She lost balance, colliding head first into a large metal pole. The child she was holding was relatively uninjured and Kristiona ended up taking the brunt of the injuries. She will be taking up to a three week absence from work while her injury heals. Having this shoulder icepack will help her stay comfortable during recovery so she can get back to what she loves, teaching.

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.
