Amari, 21 years old, CA

Amari is a young woman who recently aged out of the foster care system. Without family to support her, she quickly found herself homeless and struggling to get by. She’s searching for work and is qualified, as she is a licensed phlebotomist and has a guard card. Unfortunately, despite sending out many applications, she hasn’t been able to find a job. The tough job market makes it even harder for her to stay in a stable place while she tries to move forward. Amari is also in college, studying radiology with hopes of specializing in mammography. She is dedicated to building a better future and wants to work in healthcare to help others, but right now, she’s facing a lot of challenges with limited resources.
