Rose spent fourteen years in the foster care system, moving every couple of months and navigating long-term adolescent programs. Her experience was challenging, and unlike the success stories she rarely hears about, hers was filled with instability. At 18, she aged out of the system, determined to build a better future for herself. Rose is a devoted mother, pouring her love and energy into her children. Although she sometimes feels lost in her role as a mother, watching her kids grow and experience life brings her immense joy. She has a kind and patient heart and is passionate about family and giving back to the community, often volunteering to cook and feed those in need. Creativity plays a significant role in Rose's life. She finds comfort in framing family photos, painting decorations for her home, and enjoying simple pleasures like swimming, biking, and watching movies.

Rose is a devoted single mother of two and a foster care alum who prioritizes her children's needs above all else. After years spent navigating the foster care system, she has worked hard to build a life filled with love and care for her family. Now, she has a rare personal wish: to have a desk for her home office. This desk would provide Rose with a dedicated space to focus on her personal and professional goals—something that is just for her. Help Rose create a peaceful and empowering corner in her home where she can grow, dream, and take a moment to care for herself.
