Graduating high school can feel like a lonely time for a youth in foster care. At Serena's graduation ceremony this week, only her boyfriend and Court Appointed Special Advocate were present to support her. No parents, aunts, or uncles cheering for her. No crowd of family to throw a graduation party afterward. Despite that, there was so much joy in Serena's face. She graduated with honors, and received several awards. As this determined lady heads off to college, the expenses of settling herself into her dorm, buying textbooks, etc., will all fall on her young shoulders. Her wish is to get several items to make her dorm a home.
