About this fundraiser

A little background about me… I was once a foster child and been through the experience. in most case I was placed in homes where people treated you like you were foster kids. As I got older I knew I wanted to be a foster parent! I needed to change how some foster children feel going into new places to live! I started my journey of  fostering out of my apartmen, 1 kid at a time. I started saving money to buy land to build a house so that I could at least take 2-3 kids as a few times siblings had to be separated due to me only having one bedroom available! Last year I was able to buy a half acre of land and currently having a home built. Because of my finacing limits… the backyard is just not great! I paid cash to remove all the trees and now want to create a playground/ fun space for the kids. one of my current kids love to meditate and goes back there with her blanket. 

The funds are to help build and create an enjoyable backyard for the foster children, play-sets, basketball hoop and possibly a pool.  but before all that the leveling and excavation also needs to happen! A safe place for them to hang out and feel like normal kids! 

Thank you for considering to help me pay it forward!
