Foster Greatness

Cara is a resilient young woman who aged out of foster care at 18. Despite experiencing homelessness, she has fought for custody of her brother and is currently working as a waitress while studying to become a registered nurse. After the tragic loss of her sister in a car accident last year, Cara dreams of starting a program in South Carolina to support foster youth. An artist and aspiring author, she is writing a book about her journey to achieve her goals and give back to others.

Cara is in need of grocery assistance during a challenging financial time. Having aged out of foster care and experienced homelessness, she is currently juggling long hours as a waitress while studying to become a registered nurse and caring for her brother. With the colder weather, limited resources, and the emotional burden of recently marking the one-year anniversary of her sister’s death, basic necessities like food have become a top priority. Help with groceries would mean a great deal to Cara. This support would ease her immediate stress about daily meals, allowing her to focus on work, school, and healing. Providing this assistance represents nourishment, stability, and compassion at a time when Cara truly needs support.
