Eviana is pursuing her dream of becoming a teacher. Growing up in foster care alongside her siblings, she entered the system at a very young age and never achieved permanency. Despite the instability she experienced, Eviana always felt supported and encouraged by her teachers. They became steady, caring adults in her life when so much else felt uncertain. Because of the impact they had on her, Eviana is determined to become that same source of safety, encouragement, and belief for other young people—especially those navigating foster care. She wants every child in her classroom to feel seen, valued, and capable of achieving their dreams.

Eviana is working toward her dream of becoming a teacher, and she needs essentials to stock her kitchen with groceries and everyday items. She grew up in foster care alongside her siblings and never found a permanent home, but her teachers were the steady, caring adults who believed in her when so much else felt uncertain. Now she wants to be that same source of safety and encouragement for other children, especially those in foster care. With grocery prices stretching her budget, funds for stocking up on food in larger quantities would help her make every dollar go further. It would give her peace of mind knowing there is food at home, so she can stay focused on the future she is building.
