Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Cheyla entered the foster care system when she was eleven years old. This experience that shaped her life has made her much stronger today. She’s a licensed nail technician with a creative eye and a passion for helping others feel their best. In her free time, Cheyla enjoys cooking, painting, and going on scenic hikes. She has a deep love for animals and finds joy in caring for them. Whether she’s behind the wheel on a peaceful drive or indulging in self-care, Cheyla values balance, creativity, and personal growth in everything she does.

Cheyla dreams of having a vanity desk. It would be her special place to relax, get creative, and focus on herself—something she’s been trying to make more important in her life. Since entering the foster system at 11, she’s learned how to create her own comfort and stability. As a licensed nail technician, Cheyla loves beauty and self-care, and having a space to keep her tools and products organized would help her stay on top of her work and enjoy her daily routine. Beyond work, she finds happiness in self-care, whether it’s doing her nails, experimenting with makeup, journaling, or just unwinding after a long day. A vanity desk would be like a little sanctuary for her. It would help her feel more organized and in control of her space, supporting her healthy habits. For Cheyla, a vanity desk isn’t just a piece of furniture; it represents her journey and the bright future she’s building.
