resources with individuals experiencing homelessness or ensuring they respect others and address people with their preferred pronouns. “I want them to be accepting of all people and to choose love,” said Krystle. With so much of her energy focused on serving others, Krystle acknowledges the importance of taking time for herself, too. One of her favorite creative outlets is designing clothing and tackling DIY projects. As a child, she loved to draw and often dreamed she would become a famous fashion designer. Though she laughingly says she’s not famous, her kids’ and women’s clothing lines have been featured in multiple local fashion shows. Plus, she has curated showcases to provide recognition for local artists representing a variety of mediums. She also loves to surprise her boys with trips and adventures. Krystle hopes other single moms can draw strength from her story and know they, too, are capable of fulfilling their dreams. “Never, ever give up,” encourages Krystle. “I deal with daily obstacles but I work hard not to allow those things to distract me from what I’m focused on. Don’t allow your today to affect your tomorrow.” Krystle imparts that wisdom to her boys, too, and she takes great pride in watching her oldest son follow his dreams to take on leadership roles, including becoming vice president of student council at his high school. “It’s important for my boys to understand that no obstacle is too big; that they can overcome anything and not to allow anything to deter them from their goals,” said Krystle.
KRYSTLE AND HER THREE BOYS LOVE TO GO ON ADVENTURES TOGETHER.
