Angela entered foster care at a young age after her mother was unable to protect her from abuse by a family member. Following her removal from home, she spent time in foster care and shelters before being placed with a relative. Unfortunately, that placement was also unstable and abusive. Throughout her childhood and adolescence, Angela experienced multiple placements, including foster homes and group homes, and struggled to find the stability, safety, and support that many children rely on. Growing up in foster care made it difficult for her to find stability and establish a strong foundation for adulthood, but she has never let that stop her. With a bold, independent spirit and unwavering dedication to her son, who is on the autism spectrum, Angela has pushed through every obstacle to reach her current position. Angela has built a career in case management and hopes to return to this field once her son begins preschool. Creative, intelligent, and resourceful, she enjoys shopping, sharing her story, and doing whatever it takes to support her family and achieve her dreams.
