Juan, 21 years old, CA
Juan entered foster care at the age of 12, and through the challenges he's faced, he has grown into a hardworking and driven young man. He works as a cook and takes pride in putting in long hours, finding purpose and strength in staying busy. In his free time, Juan enjoys working on cars, a passion that lets him unwind and build something with his hands. One of Juan’s biggest inspirations is his foster mom, whom he loves deeply. His dream is to one day buy a house for both of them, giving back to the person who has given him so much. To achieve his goals and gain discipline, Juan is preparing to join the military. For him, it’s not just about service, it's a way to support his foster mom and build a better future. Right now, his top priority is working hard and staying focused on the path ahead.
