Ten-year-old Patricia is in Kindergarten 2 this year, a determined and eager learner despite the challenges her family has faced. She lives with her mother and three siblings, all of whom have been supported solely by their mother since their father left. After separating from their mother, Patricia’s father never returned to the family, leaving them to navigate life without his presence or support. Patricia dreams of becoming a police officer when she grows up, inspired by a desire to help others and bring safety to her community. Her resilience and determination shine through, and she’s excited to work hard in school to achieve her goals. Sponsored by: Joyce Jorgensen
