Relinne, 18 years old, CA

Relinne entered the foster care system at the age of five, separated from her siblings. As she and her siblings grew older, they were able to reconnect, which has been a meaningful part of her journey. Now a devoted mother, Relinne is also continuing her education, demonstrating resilience and determination to build a strong future for herself and her child. On her days off, she enjoys indulging in self-care, whether it’s a relaxing spa day or simple moments dedicated to her well-being, as motherhood keeps her busy. She finds joy in creative activities, such as coloring and sewing, using these outlets for expression and relaxation. One of her notable strengths is her ability to protect her feelings, which helps her maintain emotional balance through life’s challenges. Relinne's dedication to self-care, creativity, and personal growth makes her a truly special and inspiring individual.
