Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Gerardo has faced financial challenges from a young age, growing up in a home where resources were often limited. Despite these hardships, he has shown resilience and determination in building a better future for himself. Navigating the foster care system during his formative years, Gerardo developed a strong sense of independence and maturity beyond his age. He has consistently focused on his goals, whether it’s doing well in school, maintaining a job, or supporting those around him. Gerardo has a quiet strength and a thoughtful nature that make him stand out. He finds joy in simple things and appreciates stability, especially after years of uncertainty.

Gerardo wants a new running watch because he’s focused on getting healthier and happier through exercise. The watch would help him keep track of his progress, stay motivated, and set goals. It’s not just a gadget; it symbolizes his commitment to a healthier lifestyle. After everything he’s been through, staying active is how he takes care of himself, and having the right gear really helps!
