SEATTLE — When Tashawn Deville was 16 and in driver's education, she noticed something about the other students.
"Everybody in that class either had two-parent households or just had a more functional kind of home environment," she said.
Deville, now 22, couldn't relate. Growing up in foster care, she didn't have parents to sign off on her forms or write her checks or take her out for practice drives. That she was in the class at all was thanks only to help she received from Treehouse, a nonprofit that works with people in foster care. At up to $800, a driver's ed course was too expensive to afford on her own.
