Foster Alumni Mentors

Payton is a helpful, kind, and reliable young woman who is working hard to build a bright future for herself. She spent time in foster care before being adopted, and her journey has shaped her into someone thoughtful, resilient, and deeply compassionate. Payton is committed to her education and determined to reach her goals. One of her biggest dreams is to have her own car, a milestone that would give her greater independence and help her take the next steps into adulthood.

Payton is determined to face the challenges in her life with courage and resilience. As she works through big changes and strong emotions, she is actively choosing healthier ways to cope and grow. A punching bag would give Payton a powerful, productive outlet to release built-up anger and stress while building physical strength and emotional control. This tool would support her commitment to self-improvement, helping her channel difficult feelings into motivation, confidence, and positive action as she continues moving forward.
