Kelsey is a kind and resilient young mother who is working hard to build a positive future for herself and her daughter. Despite facing many challenges at a young age, she remains hopeful and determined to continue her education while learning how to be the best mother she can be. Kelsey is currently living in a foster home with a family friend. Although time in foster care has been difficult, she continues to stay positive and looks forward to the possibility of returning home to be reunited with her family. Spending time with her siblings is one of the things she enjoys most, and those connections mean a great deal to her. Recently becoming a mother herself has brought both excitement and nervousness as she adjusts to this new chapter in her life. Even with the challenges she faces, Kelsey remains committed to finishing school and creating a stable future for herself and her daughter. Those who know Kelsey describe her as kind, caring, and always smiling. She continues to move forward with courage and determination as she works toward becoming a confident young mother and achieving her goals.

Kelcey is a teen who is working on emotional regulation and building healthy coping skills while also raising her young child. During a recent therapeutic group session, she created a Mother’s Day gift using resin and shared that the experience felt calming and rewarding. She connected strongly with this activity as a positive way to manage stress and express herself creatively. Having access to similar materials at home would allow Kelcey to continue building confidence, patience, and healthy coping skills outside of sessions. This set would include beginner-friendly supplies such as a small resin kit, molds, and decorative materials so she can create independently.
