A New Desk for Kristiona to replace her 11 year old desk that is falling apart
Posted Mar 9, 2022
Kristiona is a hard working young women, she is a teacher and spends countless hours at her desk building lesson plans and grading papers. She has had the same desk for 11 years that was handed down to her by a family member. Though it served its purpose and got her through high school and college it is falling apart and missing pieces. She is in need of a new stable desk that will fit nicely in her apartment that she can continue her teacher duties comfortably.
Kristiona is 29 years old and lives in CO
Kristiona was placed in foster care at the age of two. She was adopted but later bounced around from foster home to foster home at the age of nine. After being returned to foster care, she aged out. Despite facing everyday obstacles and medical issues, Kristiona became independent and started her college journey, which has been successful. She has graduated with her Bachelor's degree and is now looking to continue her education to work with children. Currently, she works as a teacher at an early head start preschool and enjoys every moment of it. Kristiona is committed to breaking the generational cycle of abuse and lack of education. Her ultimate goal is to own and run a summer camp for children in foster care, providing them with not only fun but also therapeutic and mentoring support.
