Issac, 18 years old, IA

Isaac made the difficult decision to leave his siblings in Los Angeles to get away from gang influences in his environment. He moved to a safe neighborhood to live with his aunt, where he had to adjust to a new life away from those negative pressures. Since the move, he has been able to re-enroll in high school, get a job, and obtain his driver’s license. Isaac now has strong support in place and is back on track with developing his independent living skills.
