Central Missouri Foster Care & Adoption Association

Chrisean is an outgoing, charismatic, and friendly young man with a bright personality and a strong sense of determination. He enjoys playing video games, spending time outdoors with friends, and shooting hoops on the basketball court. As he prepares to transition out of the child welfare system and into independent adult living, Chrisean looks ahead with optimism and motivation. He is eager to take responsibility for his future, including managing his own finances and becoming more involved in his community through work and social activities. Although he has understandable reservations from past challenges, Chrisean is committed to forging a new path for himself. He is highly self-motivated and open to support, valuing encouragement and guidance from those around him. With the right resources and connections, Chrisean is ready to step confidently into adulthood and build a fulfilling life on his own terms.

Chrisean is currently living in a residential facility. Unfortunately, these facilities often lack the resources to provide consistent transportation, leaving young adults like him with limited mobility options. This situation affects his ability to secure a job, establish a routine, and access opportunities that promote personal growth and independence. An e-bike would be a transformative solution for Chrisean. It would grant him the freedom to travel to work, attend school, and go to appointments without having to rely on others. He wouldn’t be restricted to jobs that are only accessible to other residents, nor would he have to arrange complicated rides for every outing. Chrisean is diligently working towards building a responsible and stable future. He understands that owning a car is a long-term goal that comes with financial and logistical challenges he is not yet ready to face. In the meantime, an e-bike would serve as the perfect stepping stone, offering him independence, flexibility, and the opportunity to manage his own schedule while he continues to save and plan for the future.
