New Luggage for Corrin as she prepares for her Journalism Internship

Posted May 1, 2019
Corrin is gong to New York the day after she graduates go to a special journalism internship. She is thrilled because she will get to work with the New York Times while she's there. She was selected for this honor out of a large pool of applicants but she is in need of new luggage for the trip. Corrin would be so excited to pick out awesome new luggage to use on her trip!

Corrin is 26 years old and lives in CA

Corrin is an exceptional young woman who has truly beaten the odds. Not only has Corrin aged out of the foster care system but she has done the unimaginable. During her freshman year while home for spring break she and her friend were driving from an amusement park back to San Diego. They were hit by a driver who fell asleep and lost control of his car. Her best friend was killed and Corrin had a serious brain injury and wasn't expected to survive. Corrin had to learn how to walk and learn to do many normal functions that we normally take for granted. Corrin gave herself a goal to return to college in the Fall and doctors didn't think that was possible given her brain injury but she worked very hard on her rehabilitation. Again she beat the odds and improved enough was back at school. We are proud to share that Corrin is graduating from University of Oregon this June with her degree in journalism and will be leaving right after graduation for a special program for new journalists in New York City. Another dream come true for her!!
