A Dining Set for Tyisha's new apartment

Posted Jan 9, 2022
Tyisha is moving into a larger apartment that can better house her family - a son and twin girls, and her teenage sister who she took legal custody of to keep her out of foster care. Tyisha needs new items for her home, one of which is a larger table for her family to share meals. Please help Tyisha start off her new year right!

Tyisha is 30 years old and lives in NY

Tyisha aged out of foster care while pregnant with her son, resulting in her dropping out of college to attend to her newborn. When Tyisha's younger siblings, who had been adopted, began to run to her home complaining of their treatment, she took them in. The Court ultimately sided with Tyisha, and she now has full legal custody of two teenagers, in addition to her son. Tyisha always maintains employment, and works extremely hard to provide for her family. She is now in the process of resuming her education, as she understands that a degree/training can lead to a more stable financial future.
