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.

"Hi Kristiona, I was a foster parent many years ago to a teenager that had a very similar childhood as yours. She is amazingly resilient, like you. I am so honored to fulfill your request to help you grow in your faith and friendship. I believe you will be an inspiration to others and encourage you to never give up on your dreams, faith and finding joy in life. I am sure it can be hard at times. Know that you deserve all the good things life can offer. Merry Christmas, Christy"
