Kayla came into foster care when she was 12 years old. Her mother was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which became manic and unsafe. She was placed into a resource home with a loving family that has been with her since the beginning. As the couple is now aging, Kayla felt it best to find her own apartment closer to her cosmetology school so that she can learn to be independent and also alleviate some of the financial stress on the couple she now considers family. She is studying to become a makeup artist and is also in the process of getting her driver's license.
