Kristiona, 30 years old, CO | 1054 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Originally, Kristiona was placed in Foster Care at the age of two where she was adopted, only to again be bounced around from foster home to foster home at the age of nine. She was adopted and then returned to foster care where she aged out. Kristiona became independent and started her college journey and has been successful at it despite everyday obstacles and medical issues. Kristiona has graduated from CMU with her Bachelor's degree and is looking at continuing her education to work with children. She currently works with an early head start preschool as a teacher and enjoys every moment. Kristiona is committed to breaking a generational cycle of abuse and lack of education. Her ultimate goal is to own and run a summer camp for children in foster care, that is not only fun, but can also provide them with therapeutic and mentoring supports.

Kristiona's current phone is going out after several years of owning it. She took it to the phone medic, and they said because it’s so old, there isn’t much they can do, and it would be best to get a new phone. Having a functional phone will allow her to keep up with work, doctor appointments, and friends, which is essential to her. She wants to stay with the same company because the plans are budget-friendly and to do that she has picked out a phone that she knows will meet her needs and last a long time!
