Curtis, 15 years old, IL

Curtis has been through a lot in his young life, moving in and out of care with his siblings. Since coming back into the system a little over a year ago, he’s found it tough to stay hopeful about the future. Still, he’s genuinely a wonderful kid; he puts in the effort at school and has a variety of hobbies that keep him busy while living with his aunt. Despite the challenges he faces, his determination and spirit really stand out.
