Katellet, 21 years old, CA

Katellet entered the foster care system at 16 years old, facing life’s challenges with strength and determination well beyond her years. Now a single mother, she pours all her love and energy into giving him the best life possible. He is her world, her motivation, and the reason she pushes forward every day. Driven by her desire to build a stable and hopeful future for them both, Katellet is currently attending college to become a nurse. She chose nursing not only because she wants a meaningful and secure career, but also because she wants to be someone her son can look up to, someone who helps others and never gives up. Despite the difficulties she's faced, Katellet is a mature, nurturing, and inspiring young mother who is determined to break the cycle and create a better path for her family.
