Courtney, 9 years old, LA

Courtney and her family experienced a devastating loss when their home and all of their belongings were destroyed in a fire. With nothing left, they were forced to relocate to a rural area to stay with family while they work toward becoming financially stable enough to secure a new home. The sudden displacement has been overwhelming and emotionally exhausting for the entire family. In the midst of the chaos, Courtney risked her life by running back into the burning home to rescue her dog, whom she had had since the dog was an infant. The dog is a deep source of comfort and emotional support for her. Courtney continues to show strength, courage, and resilience as her family begins the long process of rebuilding their lives.
