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 in the process of a new custody arrangement and is preparing to move into her own place. Her son is her top priority as she takes this important step. She wants to create a stable and comforting environment for him. This includes ensuring he has his own space, making his room feel personal and inviting, rather than just a place to sleep. One of her main concerns is getting him a bed and mattress. It will be a way to give her son a sense of normalcy, security, and belonging as they navigate this new chapter together.
