Desirae was in foster care from the age of 7 until she was 23. She lived in 36 different foster homes, specialized homes, respite homes, adoptive homes, and group homes. While in care, Desirae was on Youth Advisory Boards and helped with MAP Training. She is currently part of the Mass Network Foster Care Alumni. Overcoming all she had been through, Desirae strives to make the system better then it is. She is in a loving relationship and worships her young 'step' son, who she loves as her own. Desirae looks forward to her future, and hopes to one day be able to return to school to complete her education, once she decides what she would like to major in!
