Kerry is a driven and compassionate young woman. After aging out of foster care, she worked hard to secure both employment and a spot in college—balancing classes and a job with the local school district as she works toward her goal of becoming an early education teacher. Kerry is the first in her family to pursue a college degree. She brings a deep sense of purpose to everything she does, motivated by her lived experience and desire to create safe, supportive spaces for the next generation of students. Kerry describes herself as hardworking, eager to learn, and committed to building a successful future.

Kerry is creating a space where she can study, rest, and feel safe. She would like to have a soft, grass-green fleece blanket that would add a touch of warmth and personality to her home—something cozy to wrap up in after long days at school or work. The color reflects her grounded, optimistic energy, and the comfort it brings will be a steady reminder that she deserves rest and peace.
