HOLIDAY WISH

A Puzzle for Kristiona to relax with during her downtime

Posted Nov 9, 2022
Kristiona is about on her school break and loves to keep herself busy with calming tasks or projects. She finds that puzzles help her feel more at ease and she is hoping to get just a couple for the holiday months while it is dark early and she will be indoors most of her break.

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.
