Zoey, 10 years old, CA
Zoey is kind, conscientious, athletic, and artistic. She cares deeply for her brother, who lives in another foster home away from her. She and her brother were found on a corner, homeless. Their mother has significant mental health and substance misuse challenges, and she did not have the means or provisions to support and care for her children. Both children also witnessed domestic violence with their fathers, and that is what brought Zoey and her brother into protective custody.
