In February 2024, Natalie entered the foster care system after her family faced significant challenges that led to a report being made to the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). The experience has been traumatic for her, but amid the upheaval, Natalie finds solace in the strong bond she shares with her siblings. Together, they create joyful moments through dancing and spending time outdoors, which brings her a sense of happiness during these difficult times. Although Natalie is reserved and often observes those around her, her caring nature shines through when it comes to her siblings. As the second oldest girl among them, she plays a vital role in their lives, providing support and love.

Natalie wants to go bike riding with her siblings as a fun way to spend time together. She believes that riding in tandem will help strengthen their bond. Not only will it be enjoyable, but it also offers her a healthy outlet for her energy. The idea of exploring the outdoors excites her, and she looks forward to the adventure. Overall, she hopes to create lasting memories during their time together.
