Payton is a survivor and devoted mother of three who has grown up in seven different foster care homes and later fled years of domestic violence to create a safer future for herself and her children. Payton is studying, working part-time, and raising her three wonderful children on her own. Despite the trauma she has endured, she remains deeply committed to providing the stability, love, and opportunities she believes her children deserve and to rebuilding her life with the children. Payton finds joy in cooking and loves experimenting with new dishes for her family. She hopes to become an educator for youth so she can support young people who may need additional care, guidance, and encouragement.
