Layla, 12 years old, VA

Layla spent time in foster care before being reunited with her family, a huge milestone after a long road of change and uncertainty. Layla is a bright, imaginative kid who loves reading fantasy novels, drawing her own comic characters, and putting on little performances for anyone who will watch. She's also become something of a big sister figure to younger kids in her neighborhood, always looking out for them. Layla has shown incredible resilience through so much upheaval, and even as she settles back into life with her family, she and her household could use extra support and encouragement as they rebuild together.
