A Treadmill for Kristiona to keep active

Posted Nov 29, 2020
Kristiona has had a difficult time during this pandemic due to medical issues that keep her from being able to go on her walks and get out of her apartment. She recently had COVID-19 and has since recovered but needs to stay inside and continue quarantining. A treadmill would help her stay active and physically fit while maintaining her health.

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.
