Monyay, 19, came out of the foster care system, and now she feels a sense of belonging. This is due to her caseworker taking her in as her own. Lead Paskalides became the mother of the teenage girl from Florida in April 2021.

Many foster care homes in Florida aren’t responsible for children after 18. However, some allow adults to stay in their locations until 21.

Monyay and Paskalides built a very strong bond in their caseworker and client relationship. After Monyay aged out of the system, she needed assistance. Paskalides was there to aid her.

Monyay’s desire has always been to be apart of a family unit. Now, she and Paskalides have a valid mother-daughter relationship.
