Makoa, 17 years old, SD

Makoa’s path hasn’t been an easy one. He’s been in foster care twice, and after being adopted, he returned to the system when his adoptive parents relinquished their rights. Still, he’s faced every challenge with remarkable resilience. He’s smart, funny, and wise beyond his years, and he’s not afraid to work hard!
