The Story Continues

I’m Erin, a mom, grandma, and caregiver who’s learned what it truly means to step in when children need stability, love, and a soft place to land.
Over the years, I’ve gone from caregiver to advocate, navigating foster care, guardianship, and kinship systems while raising my grandkids, niece, and nephew.

Nestrela was born out of those long nights, early mornings, and countless moments of grace in between. It’s a space built from experience, hope, and heart, a place for caregivers who give everything they have, even when they’re running on empty.

Here, you’ll find stories, resources, and encouragement, gentle reminders that you’re not alone and that even in the hardest seasons, love can still grow.
