Colin, 18 years old, CO

Colin is a resilient young man who has faced more challenges in his early years than many encounter in a lifetime. Growing up in and out of foster care, Colin experienced instability and hardship, but never let his circumstances define him. With a quiet determination and a strong sense of purpose, he has worked hard to break the cycle of his past. Now living on his own for the first time, he’s learning not just how to take care of himself, but how to let others in—building trust, forming real connections, and allowing himself to be seen. His journey is one of perseverance, transformation, and the unwavering belief that a better future is not only possible, but within reach.
