Anthony, 24 years old, CA

Anthony moved a lot while in care. Despite early struggles with identity and emotional connection, he found strength through the unwavering support of his aunt and grandparents, who raised him with love and sacrifice. His church community played a powerful role in his growth, offering comfort, joy, and a sense of belonging through activities, mentorship, and faith. Over time, he overcame academic challenges, graduated from college, and now works successfully as a software engineer—an achievement he's deeply proud of. Looking ahead, he's committed to giving back through his church ministry, supporting foster youth, and helping expand loving, supportive foster networks.
