Kia is a dedicated mother working hard to build a better life for her children. After leaving a long-term relationship that wasn't healthy for her family, she is preparing to move into her own apartment. Despite the challenges she faces, Kia is determined to create a safe and loving home for her kids. She hopes to regain custody of her stepson so all her children can be together. Kia loves spending time with her kids, watching movies, being outdoors, and cooking for them. She dreams of going back to school online to pursue a career in nursing, where she can help others. Kia is a strong and resilient woman, pushing forward for the sake of her family and working towards a brighter future.

With the school year beginning, Kia recently learned that her daughter had come home with head lice. After sharing a hairbrush before realizing her daughter had lice, Kia discovered that she now needs treatment as well. Kia has recently started a new job and is working hard to provide for her family, but she has not yet received her first paycheck. The unexpected cost of purchasing lice treatment and the supplies needed to properly treat both herself and her daughter is difficult for her to manage right now. Kia feels embarrassed to ask for help with such a personal need, but receiving lice treatment supplies would let her address the problem quickly and confidently so she can keep focusing on her new job and caring for her family.
