Kristina is a kind, loyal, and compassionate individual whose greatest joy comes from giving back to her community, especially supporting foster youth. With a genuine heart and a love for helping others, she pours her energy into making a positive difference wherever she can. Beyond her generosity and advocacy, Kristina is also a talented animation artist, using her creativity to express herself and bring stories to life. Those who know her describe her as honest, quirky, eccentric, and funny, with a rare ability to make people smile while staying true to herself. Kristina’s warmth, creativity, and dedication make her a bright light in her community and an inspiration to those around her.

Kristina is a resilient and compassionate mother who has experienced foster care and understands firsthand the importance of stability, care, and a nurturing home environment. Her experiences shaped her deep commitment to providing her children with the consistency and love she didn’t always have growing up. Known for her warmth, humor, and creative spirit, Kristina finds joy in cooking and baking for her family, using meals as a way to connect, comfort, and create a sense of home. A 10-piece ceramic nonstick cast aluminum cookware set would be especially meaningful for Kristina as she continues building stability for her children while navigating ongoing financial challenges. Her current pots and pans are worn out and make daily cooking more difficult than it should be. Having a reliable cookware set would allow her to prepare healthy meals more easily and continue creating meaningful family moments around the table. For Kristina, this gift is about more than cooking; it represents healing, stability, and the opportunity to give her children the warm, loving home she works so hard to create every day.
