Elizabeth S, 17 years old, CA

Elizabeth is a kind, generous, and remarkably bright young woman. Despite being in high school, she manages a demanding schedule, working nearly 30 hours a week while staying on track to graduate in the summer of 2026. Independent and determined, she’s also studying for her driver’s permit. Much of her free time is spent helping her sister care for her twin daughters, and she pours herself into giving them the warm, stable childhood she wishes she’d had. When she does get a moment to herself, she loves spending time with her boyfriend and his family, who bring her a sense of comfort and connection.
