Lydia Joyner

I hope and pray that I can change someone's experience in the foster care system so that they may know what it means to be safe and loved.  

It breaks something in me to hear Lydia - whose name is the same as my little niece and I cannot imagine her going through anything similar - say that she was never loved like it's no big thing.  

35 homes in 18 years. 
4 first and last total name changes.
