Jaquel experienced many hardships during his time in foster care. He experienced physical and emotional abuse throughout his childhood. He prevailed by graduating from high school against all odds. Jaquel does not have family support and seeks this aspect of community and connection with his church. The lack of support and institutionalization of the system affected his educational motivation, but he persevered and graduated.
Foster Nation requests this wish for Jaquel.
