Angelina, 20 years old, CA

Angelina entered the foster care system at birth, growing up without the stability that most children take for granted. Now a single mother, she faces the daily challenge of providing for her child while struggling to make ends meet. Despite the financial stress and emotional burden, she refuses to give up. Determined to build a better future, Angelina is currently in school pursuing a nursing degree. Long days and sleepless nights test her resilience, but her child remains her greatest motivation. Through perseverance and quiet strength, she continues pushing forward, hoping to create the kind of life for herself and her family that she never had while growing up.
