Kyra, 20 years old, TN

Kyra is an inspiring young woman whose resilience and compassion shine throughout her journey. A lover of fashion, art, and singing, she aged out of foster care and faced homelessness, encountering significant challenges at a young age. Despite these hardships, Kyra's love for animals remained a constant source of hope and direction in her life. Determined to make a difference, she enrolled in Pet Grooming School, motivated by her memories of experiencing a lack of basic care and kindness. Kyra now aspires to work for a nonprofit organization that serves pets in need, providing grooming services to animals in unsafe environments. Her goal is to help these animals feel loved, clean, and ready to find their forever homes—offering them the dignity and care she once longed for herself.
