Martin, 21 years old, CA

Martin is a very nice and respectful young adult who has been in foster care since he was 9 years old. For five years, he faced challenges that caused him to move between five different foster placements. However, at the age of 14, Martin began to adjust to his environment and worked hard to develop into a young man of good character with a caring heart. He graduated from high school in 2022 and, during his time there, managed to maintain part-time employment while fulfilling all his personal and professional responsibilities. Martin lives in transitional housing where he has been very productive. He attends college and continues to work part-time. Additionally, Martin has built healthy relationships with both friends and family.
