"Hi there. Your needs and your description really moved me. My name is also Melissa, and I was a foster kid for most of my childhood. So believe me when I write that I get it. I remember just wanting something, anything better than where I was and what I had. It was a daily struggle, but if you’re determined then you can absolutely make it. Keep your eyes on the prize and keep pushing for what you want. You’ll make it!! It’s the people with the hardest backgrounds who have the best motivations. "
