Addie, 19 years old, CA

Addie is a bright, beautiful, and wonderful young lady. She was born in Ethiopia, where the majority of her family resides. After being sent to live at her uncle's home in the U.S., Addie was the victim of abuse by her uncle's wife and was sent to live with a family friend. Addie entered foster care in 2019 when the family friend said she was no longer able to care for her. The CASA says Addie is dedicated and focused in pursuit of her goals. While she is playful and a joy to be around, she is also a hard worker and a strong self-advocate.
