Twenty-six years later, ConnectingwithCristina shares her POC WHY:

"I believe everyone deserves someone in their corner, an advocate, a listening ear, a helping hand, and someone who will walk beside them through life's challenges. I've learned that every person has a story. Everyone has experienced hardships, setbacks, or moments they wish they could change. But those experiences do not define who they are or who they can become."
