City Living NY

Shavon is a motivated young woman who is diligently working towards earning her college degree. She recently moved into her own apartment, where she lives with her adorable puppy. This is an exciting time in her life. Shavon also receives support services from City Living, which assists individuals who have aged out of foster care.

After experiencing the challenges of growing up in the foster care system, Shavon made a promise to herself: no child in her family would ever have to face that journey alone. When her infant relative was born, she stepped in without hesitation, raising him as her own from day one. Now, as she begins the emotional process of legally adopting him, Shavon wants to capture every powerful, life-changing moment of their journey. A new video camera would allow her to document their incredible story. This will be a story of unconditional love and the true meaning of family.
