Justin, 20 years old, CA

Justin has been in foster care since he was just two years old and was raised by his grandparents. Although his childhood came with many challenges, he never let his circumstances define him. Instead, they became the motivation behind his drive to build a better life. Today, he is attending college and working toward his goal of becoming a social worker so he can give back and support youth who have experienced similar hardships. He is incredibly proud of how far he has come and remains determined to continue growing and creating a positive future for himself.
