  • My Backpack

    I hope children in foster care and those who have been adopted find solace in my stories. Each tale is a reflection of my own journey, woven from the threads of my childhood experiences. I spent countless years navigating the challenges and complexities that so many are facing now or have faced in the past. If you find yourself living in a state-run home, in foster care, or as part of an adoptive family, remember that you are not alone in this journey. My story is a testament to resilience, a reminder that I am here to shoulder as much as possible for you. You are never alone in this world.
