Asian Women's Shelter

Mia is a bright and funny person whose laughter lights up any room. Despite growing up in foster care and surviving abuse from her foster family, Mia has never lost her sense of hope. Now navigating adulthood with limited social support, she’s determined to build a stable, independent life. Currently studying at a community college, Mia dreams of becoming a dental hygienist. She approaches every challenge with resilience and heart, showing up every day with a smile and a deep commitment to her future.

Mia has always dreamed of having a room of her own—a safe and quiet space where she could truly be herself. Growing up, her abusive foster family denied her that basic need. After escaping and spending some time in a shelter, Mia held onto the hope of one day being fully independent. Now, like a birthday miracle, she has finally found a small apartment to call her own. With this support for moving costs, she can begin this next chapter of her life with dignity and peace.
