A new laptop for Kristiona who teaches preschool children
Posted Mar 8, 2021
Kristiona is a hard working, self motivated young woman who has come so far in life and is looking forward to changing the world in the foster care system. She is currently pursuing her dream by getting her masters degree in social work or nonprofit management while also working with preschool children as a teacher. She has been using the same Chromebook that she acquired in middle school and that laptop has presented many problems, including the loss of several important work documents, her book, and constantly has to be plugged in. She uses her laptop in her job as a teacher and needs to be able to access certain programs and build lesson plans etc. She would be so grateful to have this gift to continue her success in her job and education.
Kristiona is 28 years old and lives in CO
Originally, Kristiona was placed in Foster Care at the age of two where she was adopted, only to again be bounced around from foster home to foster home at the age of nine. She was adopted and then returned to foster care where she aged out. Kristiona became independent and started her college journey and has been successful at it despite everyday obstacles and medical issues. Kristiona has graduated from CMU with her Bachelor's degree and is looking at continuing her education to work with children. She currently works with an early head start preschool as a teacher and enjoys every moment. Kristiona is committed to breaking a generational cycle of abuse and lack of education. Her ultimate goal is to own and run a summer camp for children in foster care, that is not only fun, but can also provide them with therapeutic and mentoring supports.
