Izzy, 18 years old, NM

Izzy is an amazing young person who has faced a lot of challenges and aged out of foster care after being in the system for about ten years. Despite everything she has been through, she is determined to build a better future and not be defined by her past. Izzy has set clear goals for herself, including earning her GED and finding steady employment. She is also working hard to adjust to independent living and the many new responsibilities that come with adulthood. Even though this transition has not been easy, Izzy continues to show strength, motivation, and resilience as she takes steps toward becoming a successful and self-sufficient young adult.
