Kiara, 15 years old, VA
Kiara can rattle off the win-loss record of her favorite WNBA team without missing a beat, and she plays point guard on her school's JV basketball team with the same intensity she brings to everything else. She's competitive and driven, the kind of teammate who stays late practicing free throws long after everyone else has gone home. Kiara has bounced through four foster placements since she was ten, and the constant moves have made her wary of getting too comfortable anywhere, treating each new placement like something she needs to prove herself in before she can relax. Outside of basketball, she likes doing her nails, watching movies, and hanging out with a tight circle of teammates who've become her closest friends. Kiara has faced real instability throughout her adolescence, and she deserves a lasting home where her drive and determination can keep being nurtured rather than tested.
