Kaykay, 19 years old, CA
Kaykay’s time in foster care has taught her to adapt quickly and stay strong through constant change. Moving between homes has been difficult, but it has also made her resilient and aware of how important stability, comfort, and healthy outlets are for her well-being. Perseverance is one of her biggest strengths. Even when life feels overwhelming, she pushes forward, using her self-awareness and creativity to cope with stress in healthy ways. She’s proud of the maturity she has gained through these experiences. In her free time, Kaykay uses music to relax, manage anxiety, and stay grounded. She often listens while doing schoolwork, connecting with others online, or calming herself during stressful moments. Despite the instability she has faced, Kaykay continues to seek positive ways to support her mental and emotional health. She has learned to advocate for herself and recognize the tools she needs to function at her best, staying hopeful as she works toward a better future. Kaykay is requesting headphones because music is one of her most effective coping strategies. A reliable pair would help her focus on schoolwork, manage stress in noisy environments, and stay connected to supportive people. Headphones would give her a daily tool to feel calmer and more grounded, especially when her anxiety becomes overwhelming.
