Chloe spent two years in the foster care system. Her biggest challenge was finding a sense of stability and a sense of belonging. Constantly moving between homes and living with uncertainty made it hard to feel secure or connected. What brought her comfort while in care was the few people who genuinely cared—mentors, teachers, and friends who treated her like she mattered. Her faith was another source of strength, helping her feel loved and giving her a sense of hope. She is most proud of graduating high school and getting accepted to UCLA. She sees herself in 5 years becoming a lawyer. Her favorite activities are art and philosophy.

Chloe has been wanting a pair of reliable shoes that she can wear both professionally and casually. While they are currently out of her personal budget, Chloe is hoping for a pair of black Converse. She likes this specific shoe because they are comfortable, durable, and versatile. Between her job, school, and everyday use, Chloe would get a huge amount of use out of a pair of black converse.
