Foster Alumni Mentors

Andrea is a caring and kind-hearted young woman, as well as a loving mother to a little girl. She spent most of her young life in foster care and kinship care. Despite the challenges she has faced, she is a resilient and positive person. After moving between different cities, she is now happy to be living in one place.

Andrea dreams of giving her almost two-year-old daughter, Amara, a place where she can experience pure joy and freedom in her own little world. Amara lights up around water, and sensory play helps her feel calm, confident, and happy in ways few other things can. As a mother, Andrea carries the quiet ache of not always being able to provide the “extras” that make childhood feel magical. This water table would offer Andrea's daughter laughter, treasured memories, and a sense of normalcy, something that means more to Andrea than words can fully express.
