Dayanara, 18 years old, CA

Dayanara is a vibrant teen actively participating in the cheer and track teams. After enduring years of abuse from her father, she and her sister faced different challenges in the foster care system before their mother regained custody. Now, they live in a small rented room, leaving little privacy. Despite facing health issues, Dayanara remains positive and grateful.
