Ameana is a remarkable young adult. She has always been determined to create a better life for herself by pursuing a college education and working a part-time job. For the past four years, she's been in foster care and hasn’t always had the easiest circumstances. After losing her father, who was her guardian, Ameana entered the foster care system. She was more recently accepted into an independent living program, which she was very excited about, as she had been living in resource homes since entering care. Ameana is committed to going to college and often takes multiple buses each day for transportation. Despite the challenges she faces, nothing has deterred her from focusing on her goals.
