Simone, 25 years old, CA

Simone is a hardworking and determined young woman who has been building stability after aging out of foster care. She has been balancing work, healing, and planning for her future while navigating the long-term impacts of instability and trauma. Living with ADHD and PTSD has required Simone to develop resilience and persistence from a young age. She describes herself as incredibly driven and hardworking, and those around her see that determination in the way she continues to show up for herself every day. With stable housing now in place, Simone is finally able to focus on growth, healing, and building the kind of life she has always deserved.
