Story
We have a resilient and remarkable young woman who is preparing to begin her college journey this fall. At just 18, she’s already demonstrated incredible independence, strength, and determination. She’s been working since the age of 15 and saved enough to buy her first car—an amazing achievement that speaks volumes about her work ethic and drive.
She currently resides in a kinship placement that does not receive a stipend, yet she continues to thrive. She’s a natural leader, a fierce advocate for herself, and has a hilarious side—she’s known for playing practical jokes that keep everyone laughing. Her deep love for her family, sisters, and culture grounds her, and her compassion for others shines through in everything she does.
Despite carrying the weight of many responsibilities, she remains caring, funny, and focused on her future. We want to send her off to college with the support she deserves and a reminder of how proud we all are of her.
She could use some help gathering college essentials, such as: • School supplies (notebooks, pens (gel pens), highlighters, paper, binders, scientific calculator) • A nice backpack • Purple-themed items (her favorite color!) • Basic clothing (size med in shirts, size 8 in bottoms) • A laptop and wireless moust that fits into a backpack (if possible)
Thank you!
