Moving Pods to help Frankie get to California to reunite with her family

Posted Mar 20, 2023
Frankie did not have the fondest memories of foster care, her mother and father got divorced when she was young, and after her mother had a nervous breakdown and had to go to the hospital, she and her siblings were left alone for days and nights until finally people in suits arrived and took them to a "friends" house that they never met. In that foster home, Frankie remembers not being treated like their biological children and was given broth and oatmeal with no sugar or milk. Her mother eventually came back and had them meet her at a location and took her and her siblings out of the state. After aging out she moved to Colorado to be close to her daughter but her daughter passed away in 2021 from Covid and she has no other family in Colorado. Her greatest wish is to be reunited with her family, move back to California, and see her grandchildren that she has only spoken to and seen via zoom. In 2015 she put in an application for an apartment and was finally accepted just this month and needs help getting her things across the country. She is retired and does not have the funds to move, She needs 3 pods to be moved to California by the end of March so she can be in her new apartment on April 1st. This wish would mean the world to her and she can't wait to see her son, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, many whom she has never even met.

Frankie is 51 years old and lives in CO

Frankie is a generous, kind women who raised 3 amazing children and has seen and been through many of life's challenges, she lost one of her children to Covid in 2021 but continues to push ahead and keep positive. She is currently living in Colorado but is trying to find a way to get back home to California, she prefers the consistent warm weather and beaches. She loves to garden and participate in many community activities where she can meet new people. She always has a smile on her face and loves to make people laugh.
