Iris, 22 years old, TX

Iris is a resilient and kind young woman who has faced more than her fair share of instability. After moving from foster home to foster home, she was adopted with her younger brother as a teenager. Unfortunately, that adoption broke down, leaving them homeless and without support. Since then, Iris has worked tirelessly to support herself. After experiencing some setbacks, she is currently living in her car while working full-time at a care home for the elderly. Despite these challenges, she remains open-hearted and kind, dreaming of turning her passion for caring into a lifelong profession. She is diligently working to get into a training program to become a Certified Nurse's Aide and find stable housing.
