Linda
Linda's parents died in 2004. She was living with relatives for a time, but they found they could not provide for her and her brother, Caleb, and sought help.

Linda enjoys interacting with others and thinks she would like to become a psychologist someday. She wants to live a godly life to honor and glorify God.
