David, 22 years old, VA
David traveled to the United States alone as an unaccompanied minor, entering the foster care system as a teenager with no family nearby and an entirely new country, language, and culture to navigate. He aged out of care with limited support and has had to build an independent life almost entirely on his own since. Despite these challenges, David is resourceful and hardworking and is currently employed in a warehouse job. At the same time, he saves toward his goal of enrolling in a technical program to become an HVAC technician. He enjoys soccer, cooking meals from his home country, and connecting with a small community of friends who understand what it's like to start over in an unfamiliar place. He's quiet about his past but deeply resilient, carrying himself with a steady determination to build the stability and sense of home he didn't have growing up.
