Jayce, 13 years old, LA
Jayce is a bright and active young boy who puts a lot of energy into sports and staying busy, but underneath his strong exterior, he carries the heavy impact of his father’s incarceration. This separation has created a deep emotional strain, leaving Jayce to navigate feelings of confusion, sadness, and loss at an age when he should feel secure. He often tries to stay strong for others, but the absence of his father has changed his sense of stability and sometimes makes him feel isolated. The financial challenges that come with having a parent incarcerated add even more stress, especially when basic needs like shoes are hard to replace. Despite these hardships, Jayce continues to push forward, showing remarkable resilience and maturity. His dedication to sports becomes an outlet for his emotions, giving him a place to channel both his strength and his struggles. Through it all, Jayce remains a caring and determined young boy who deserves support, comfort, and encouragement.
