Jaden is a mature young man who identifies as part of the LGBTQ community and continues to show incredible strength despite everything he has faced. When his father found out about his identity, Jaden lost the stability of having a home and had to rely on staying with others just to have a safe place to sleep. Even while facing homelessness and uncertainty, he remains resilient, respectful, and determined not to give up on himself or his future. He has learned to be independent and resourceful at a very young age, navigating situations that most teens never have to endure. Jaden still tries to stay positive, showing kindness to others and maintaining hope that life will get better. His courage, perseverance, and self-awareness are powerful strengths that continue to carry him forward.
