Crystal is a former foster youth who aged out of foster care after turning 18. Crystal has lived experience as a survivor of sexual and physical abuse while living with her biological mother. Crystal had to file a report and was taken from her mother to live with her grandmother since her father was incarcerated. Crystal struggled without having much support or consistency during her childhood and this led to acting out and having to move from foster home to foster home or into group homes. But today, Crystal is creating new paths. She is a mother of two sweet children and works with her partner to give them the home she never had. Crystal loves playing with her children and cherishes her time at home with her family. Crystal looks forward to her future as she learns to grow her family on her own.
