Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Mya's journey through foster care was filled with emotional pain and silence. Removed from her family at a young age, she faced unimaginable trauma but often felt unheard and judged by those meant to help her. Despite the challenges, Mya developed resilience and strength. She finds joy in simple pleasures, like braiding hair and cooking, and prioritizes her three children’s well-being above all else. Playing video games with her oldest son brings them closer and creates cherished memories. Mya's unwavering dedication to her family and her determination to thrive, despite her past, define her. She has chosen to raise her children with love and hope, refusing to let her experiences in the foster care system define her.

Mya is a dedicated mother who recently moved into a small home with her kids. Her kitchen has limited space, making it challenging to keep everything organized. Essential items like her microwave, spices, coffee maker, and cookware are often piled up or crammed in corners. She's looking for a kitchen stand to help make her kitchen more functional. This stand would hold her microwave and provide shelves for cooking essentials, making meal prep easier and keeping things tidy. Having a designated space will bring order and comfort to her new home. A kitchen stand would help her create a usable cooking area where she can prepare meals, care for her family, and take pride in her home.
