Dixie, 18 years old, OH
Dichhaya, or “Dixie” as she prefers to be called, is a remarkable young woman with a kind heart and a resilient spirit. Despite facing more than her fair share of challenges, she continues to move forward with courage and determination. Originally from Nepal, Dixie and her family immigrated to the United States in search of a better life. However, their journey has not been easy. Her parents, who do not speak English, have encountered their own struggles, and Dixie has been placed in foster care. She will remain in care until she ages out of the system. Even in the face of hardship, Dixie stands out. She is warm, friendly, and incredibly sweet—someone who naturally draws people in. She confronts her trauma and anxiety with remarkable strength. She has made significant progress and continues to grow every day. Dixie is motivated, goal-oriented, and never loses sight of her dreams.
