Elijah, 22 years old, CA

Elijah is a hard-working young man currently in college pursuing a career in psychology and licensure as an EMT. Through everything, Elijah's faith helps him cope. Elijah recalls the feeling of being alone and being told he wasn't good enough in foster care. Moving around a lot was anxiety-inducing for him. Peer support, motivation, and resources got him to where he is today, and he has big dreams that keep him going.
