Emery, 21 years old, VA
Emery has spent years moving between homes and navigating life in foster care, but through every change, they have held onto their kindness, creativity, and desire to make a difference. Now a young adult working to build stability after aging out of the system, Emery finds comfort in nurturing plants and creating a space of their own. They are thoughtful, loyal, and passionate about helping others, with a dream of becoming a social worker so they can support young people facing similar challenges. Even as they work to establish their independence, Emery continues to put others first, always striving to leave people and places better than they found them.
