Martin, 16 years old, CA

Martin is a caring teenager who enjoys sports, music, and drawing. He entered foster care at 11 due to neglect and faced a severe hip injury two years later, leading to constant pain. Despite moving through many foster homes and facing challenges in getting medical care, he showed resilience. After multiple hip surgeries, he worked hard to not let these experiences define him. Now, heโ€™s excited to return to athletics, especially basketball and horseback riding
