  • 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.

  • Four Dollars

    I often write about my experiences in foster care. I sometimes felt like an escape artist, trying to find a life that seemed out of reach. I knew what I wanted, but I struggled to fully understand and appreciate what I had when I finally received it. It took time and the support of many people around me to help me see things differently. I was never involved in any crime; I was in difficult circumstances and needed plenty of love and guidance.
