Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Samara entered the foster care system at the age of 3, which fueled her determination to create a better future. Despite her challenges, she's become a compassionate and driven young woman eager to explore the world. In her free time, she loves discovering new places, hiking to reconnect with nature, and indulging her creativity through writing, reading, and movies with her close friend. Currently, she balances a part-time job while attending school, working hard to achieve her goals and build a fulfilling life. Through it all, she remains hopeful and motivated by her experiences.

Samara would love to have a new electric scooter as it would significantly improve her ability to get around safely, affordably, and independently. As someone currently juggling a part-time job and school, transportation can often be a significant barrier. Public transit is not always reliable or convenient, and commuting on foot takes up valuable time and energy that she could be using to study, work, or rest. An electric scooter would give her the flexibility to get to work, school, and appointments more quickly and efficiently, helping her stay on top of her busy schedule. Beyond practicality, an electric scooter would also give Samara a sense of freedom. She enjoys being outside and exploring new places, especially when she can find time to unwind in nature. Having her own scooter would allow her to travel a bit farther with ease
