Strength Base Community Change (SBCC)

Angel has had a tough experience in the foster care system, filled with sadness and disappointment, but also some joy. He learned to be self-reliant and cautious, often keeping to himself to avoid conflict. Despite these challenges, Angel has developed resilience and leadership skills, proud of the obstacles he has overcome. Sports, particularly baseball and football, have been a positive influence in his life, helping him stay focused and motivated. In his free time, he enjoys staying active through sports, which gives him a sense of community and purpose. What makes Angel special is his maturity and ability to rise above his struggles. Instead of being defeated by his experiences, he has used them to grow stronger. Currently, he works and lives with a roommate while striving for full independence. His goal is to enroll in college and achieve stability by securing his own apartment. He is seeking support for essential job placement and living needs, viewing this opportunity as a crucial step toward a better life.

Angel recently moved in with a roommate, but his room is unfurnished, and he’s in need of a bed and mattress. He’s specifically requesting a Cool Gel Memory Foam Mattress. This mattress is ideal for him because it features cooling technology to help alleviate his sleep-related heat issues. Having a proper bed is crucial for Angel’s self-care routine. Quality sleep is vital for his mental and physical well-being, and without a bed, he’s been struggling to feel rested and grounded in his new space. Granting this wish will help him create a cozy environment to recharge and focus on his health and personal growth during this transition.
