The Goodwin Family
Our Story
Hi my name is Charteria, and I am the guardian of a sweet & strong young lady named Serenity Goodwin. She is a loving & energetic 11 year old. who has been recently diagnosed with lupus and kidney disease on her birthday this year. This has changed so much for her with taking medication everyday and being hospitalized numerous times. I love her so much, but the situation has caused some issues within my home and her 4 cousins (who are my children). Times have been hard, especially now with my taking guardianship. We are still getting use to this illness and learning every day. This illness has taken over and has made such an impact on a lot of things.
