Corrine, 8 years old, IN
In her young life, Corrine witnessed repeated domestic violence between her mother and her mother's boyfriend, fueled by addiction. Because of this, she and her half-brother were removed from their mother's care and placed in foster care over a year ago. Corrine later faced another painful loss when her half-brother was reunited with his father, separating the two siblings. Despite everything, Corrine has remained in the same foster home since her removal, one that has given her a safe, loving place to land. She loves riding her bike and has a natural artistic streak, always looking for ways to create. That creativity led her to discover a real gift for sewing, something that began when her favorite stuffed animal got a hole and needed mending. Now old enough for 4-H, Corrine and her foster family are exploring the opportunity together.
