Nafia entered foster care at 17 after growing up in a home where her mother’s mental health challenges made it difficult to provide the care and support she needed. As an only child, she has had to navigate much of her childhood trauma on her own, developing a quiet strength and emotional resilience along the way. She is thoughtful, independent, and learning to create a stable and peaceful life for herself. Her journey has not been easy, but she continues to focus on healing and building a better future.
