Lisa grew up in the foster care system, moving through multiple placements before being adopted at the age of 16. Her journey has shaped her into someone who knows firsthand the power of resilience and the importance of hope. Through the challenges she faced, Lisa learned that no matter what, she can survive and thrive—and that holding on to hope, even in the toughest moments, is key to overcoming adversity. Now, Lisa is focused on using her experiences to inspire others who may be facing their own struggles. Currently a college student, she is still exploring her path and has not yet declared her major. But whatever direction she chooses, Lisa is committed to finding a way to give back and share her story in a way that empowers others to keep going, no matter the obstacles they face.

Lisa is asking for flatware for her birthday to help complete her kitchen and make everyday meals a little easier. She’s hoping for a nice, reliable set that she can use for daily dining or when hosting others. Having her own flatware would bring a sense of comfort and readiness to her space, making her feel more settled and prepared.
