Hailey’s Story

Hailey attends college with an ISF scholarship and is a soon-to-be-nurse, graduating this May of 2020. Because of the pandemic, she had to leave campus earlier than planned and is struggling with her college experience being cut short. She shares,

“I am the first in my biological family to graduate college. I am a foster child who surpassed the 3% odds and got into college. I am a foster care child who earned to be in the 1% who graduates from college. I am a nursing student who worked hard, failed, got back up and still made it to graduation day. This is an achievement that I never thought I could truly obtain.”
