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 wishes for a comfortable, stylish desk chair to pair with her home workspace. This chair would give Rose the support she needs as she works on personal and professional projects—a small step toward reclaiming time and space for herself. After years of being overlooked, Rose is learning that she deserves comfort and care, too.
