Like many children in the child welfare system, high school was a challenge for Emahni, who struggled in class and had difficulty completing her homework. Through The Foundling, Emahni was connected with Kat, who tutored her and even helped her submit her college applications. Thanks to Kat and The Foundling, Emahni passed her tests, graduated from high school, and was accepted into college. Kat was with her every step of the way.
