Melady, 18 years old, MO

Melady is a remarkable young woman. Her caregivers believe she deserves much more than what they can provide. She never asks for anything in return; instead, she actively helps around the house and is wonderful with the younger foster children. She looks out for them, encourages them, and supports them. With a heart of gold, Melady simply desires a normal family life. She is energetic, kind, and loving! Although adulting feels daunting for her and her past trauma has not provided her with many positive experiences related to adulthood, she is fortunate to have amazing foster parents who are eager to support her along the way. Melady is also excited about pursuing a career in social work.
