HOLIDAY WISH

New Ornaments for Kristiona's first Christmas tree of her very own

Posted Nov 29, 2021
Kristiona's holiday memories are not the most positive ones, and while she has worked through her trauma and become successful at what she does, certain things are still very challenging. This year she is starting with a new hope for the holidays and is so excited to get her very own tree to make new positive memories. She doesn't have any ornaments yet and being the animal lover that she is, what better ornaments than these cute woodland creatures. She would love to display these lovely ornaments on her new tree.

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.
