TAMPA, Fla. - It can be hard for teens aging out of foster care who want to go to college. The Knighten family has found purpose in helping these teens get a leg up.
Bernetta and Earl Knighten are giving a hand up to foster teens heading to college. Our motto is this all it can take is one opportunity, one chance, one giving of ourselves that could change someone s life and their trajectory for their life, said Bernetta.
They are helping foster teens make the transition to college with their Packing With A Purpose College Bound drive.
