Laylah has spent much of her life in and out of foster care, living in several different homes. Most recently, she lived with her aunt, working on rebuilding a trusting relationship with her after experiencing significant trauma within her family during her early years. At the age of 16, Laylah became pregnant. When she decided to keep her baby, most of her family support quickly dwindled, leaving her facing the options of staying in youth shelters, experiencing homelessness, or remaining in unsafe living situations. Fortunately, with the help of Child Welfare, Laylah received a voucher at 17 years old, allowing her to move into her very first apartment!
