NJ DCFS - Bergen County

Bethany hopes to work in the culinary arts as an adult, she dreams of having her own baking shop! She is very creative, artistic, eye for detail, and loves to help others! Bethany currently lives with a resource family and plans to continue to live with the resource family beyond 18! She has overcome numerous obstacles in her life, Bethany is working hard at work and motivated to get her GED in order to have the future she envisions for herself.

Bethany is seeking assistance in obtaining a standalone closet for her bedroom. She recently moved into a program that accommodates young adults until they turn 24, as she works towards her educational and employment goals in the trades, specifically as a nail technician. Bethany shares her apartment with another young adult, and the space is somewhat limited for all of her belongings. A standalone closet would help her make better use of the space and keep herself organized moving forward. As Bethany approaches her 21st birthday, she continues to demonstrate resilience by becoming certified as a nail technician in New Jersey. She plans to grow her client list with the dream of eventually opening her own salon.
