Lucy comes from a large family and faced extreme poverty during her childhood, often lacking enough food and healthcare. Her parents did not encourage her to attend school. Eventually, she sought help, and she and her siblings were placed in foster care. After having her baby, Lucy became determined to be a good mother and graduate from high school. She is recognized as a role model among other teenage mothers and hopes to work in the medical field to support young moms. While she is thankful for the hand-me-downs her daughter receives, she wishes she could buy new clothes for her.
