Kaden, 18 years old, IN

Kaden lives with his grandparents in a small town. His parents, who both have mental health issues, were unable to care for him properly, and he was in a guardianship with his grandparents when he was younger that was dissolved when his mother was doing better. Unfortunately, she started struggling with substance use disorder in addition to her previous mental health issues. This has ultimately led to him being back with his grandparents. In addition to his schoolwork and being on the school wrestling team, Kaden also has a part-time job at the local grocery store. He enjoys working and earning his own money. He is also saving up for a car. Kaden is a well-rounded young man who is intelligent, athletic, kind, and compassionate.
