NJ DCFS - Ocean County

Amijah is a young adult who lives with her maternal grandmother and has limited support systems. As a child, she faced unfavorable experiences with her biological parents. Currently, Amijah is not in contact with her mother, and her father has passed away. Despite her traumatic background, she is strong and resilient. Amijah is a good advocate for herself and is eager to take on new responsibilities. She is determined to provide stability for her family and is open to new opportunities, such as learning new skills and seeking employment, to improve her chances of success as a parent.

Amijah is a young mother living with a family member in a limited space. She has a newborn and needs a storage bin set with wheels to keep her and her baby’s items organized, as her bedroom doesn't have room for a dresser. Amijah relies on her family for support, especially since she is currently unemployed. While she is excited about this new chapter in her life, she also feels anxious about the challenges ahead. Providing Amijah with the right tools, like storage bins, will help her stay organized and focused on her and her baby’s needs, allowing her to navigate this important journey as a parent more effectively.
