Makayla, 15 years old, OH
Makayla is in permanent custody of the county and has spent several years in foster care. Despite the many challenges she has faced, she continues to show resilience and growth, always! She is currently attending a behavioral school where she is working on self-control and coping skills. Her behavioral school is playing a huge role in how she is working so hard to better herself. The cards Makayla was dealt were not easy ones, and she has had to work through a great deal of trauma to get where she is today.
