Kirsten, 22 years old | 5 DAYS WAITING

Foster Alumni Mentors

Kirsten is an ambitious, kind, hard-working young lady. Growing up, she bounced around a lot and ended up in kinship care. After leaving her aunt's home, she struggled to find a place of her own and finally had stability in her life. Kirsten is an amazing mother of 3 little ones, which keeps her busy full-time. She is so grateful that she gets to be the mom she always wanted growing up and loves her children so much. Though she has worked through many struggles in life, things are finally starting to come together and she can feel life getting better. She loves the outdoors and loves to be with her family.

Kirsten is a devoted mom to three little ones under the age of three, doing everything she can to create a safe and fun environment for them, especially on the days when getting everyone to the park just isn’t possible. Their second-floor balcony could be the perfect outdoor play space, but right now it’s far from safe. The wooden flooring is worn and splintered, and the wide railings make it easy for toys and little hands to slip through. Kirsten is requesting a privacy screen for her balcony to create a secure, shaded play area that offers protection from splinters and harmful UV rays. Granting this wish could give her babies a safe place to play and enjoy fresh air, even when leaving the house feels overwhelming.
