Alexis, 19 years old, CA

Alexis is wise beyond her years, shaped by the many obstacles she has overcome while growing up in the foster system. She has a personality that lights up every room she enters, drawing people in with her warmth and positivity. As an out-of-county youth, Alexis does not have a solid support system here in San Diego, though she stays connected to a few cousins from back home. Despite the challenges of being far from familiar faces, she is working hard to create stability for herself in her new apartment through a housing program. For fun, Alexis loves expressing her creativity—whether it’s decorating her home to make it feel warm and inviting or putting together outfits that reflect her unique style. Her resilience, determination, and joyful spirit make her a remarkable young woman with a bright future ahead.
