A Holiday Treat for Tyisha

Posted Dec 22, 2022
The holidays can be a tough time of year for youth who experienced foster care. Tyisha aged out of foster care, which means she does not even have the support of the former agency and the system overall. As a young mother, she also prioritizes providing a special holiday for her children - including the sibling she gained custody of so she could keep her out of the foster care system. Please help Tyisha purchase a special treat for herself this holiday season!

Tyisha is 30 years old and lives in NY

Tyisha aged out of foster care while pregnant with her son, resulting in her dropping out of college to attend to her newborn. When Tyisha's younger siblings, who had been adopted, began to run to her home complaining of their treatment, she took them in. The Court ultimately sided with Tyisha, and she now has full legal custody of two teenagers, in addition to her son. Tyisha always maintains employment, and works extremely hard to provide for her family. She is now in the process of resuming her education, as she understands that a degree/training can lead to a more stable financial future.
