Maya has spent several years in foster care, moving between placements as she and her caseworkers work to find her a stable, permanent home. Despite the instability, she has grown into a thoughtful and creative teen with a big heart. Her love for music, especially singing along to her favorite playlists, brings her joy, and she's recently taken up sketching, filling notebooks with her drawings during downtime. Fiercely loyal to her friends, Maya also has a great sense of humor that helps her through challenging days. She enjoys cooking, particularly baking sweets to share with those around her, and dreams of one day owning her own bakery. Resilient and hopeful, Maya deserves to be celebrated and supported as she works toward a brighter future.
