Chapter 4
When Isabel’s parents unexpectedly passed away, she had no family to turn to and she entered the foster care system as a high school student. She moved into Laura’s home and was eager to share stories about her parents. Staff provided her with encouragement, therapy, and support as she worked through challenges to complete her high school education. She attended summer school this past summer and earned her high school diploma, a feat that less than half of foster youth ever achieve.
A generous donor in our community made sure to recognize and celebrate her success by having official senior pictures taken, hosting a special dinner, and providing her with spending money – all things that her parents would do if they were here to celebrate with her
