A New Water Bottle for Kristiona to have at school

Posted Dec 9, 2021
Kristiona is an amazing teacher of the most adorable 5 year old's around. As a teacher of that young age, she spends much time talking leaving her with a dry mouth and thirsty. Since Covid schools don't offer drinking fountains so she brings her own water to school. She would like a new water bottle that is reusable and insulated that she can have throughout the day and refill as needed.

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.
