Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Nicole is a remarkable young woman whose journey through foster care has shaped her into someone incredibly resilient and determined. Unlike many others, she was not placed with family members and often had to face life’s challenges without a strong support system. Despite these hardships, Nicole continues to move forward with strength and grace. She enjoys cooking, reading, and working out, which help her stay grounded and focused. Her love for these activities reflects her creativity, discipline, and desire for personal growth. Nicole’s inner strength and independence make her truly special. With the right support, she is ready to keep building a brighter future for herself.

Nicole loves experimenting in the kitchen and finds cooking to be a relaxing and creative outlet. She's been talking about wanting a slushie machine so she can make frozen drinks and treats at home. A slushie machine would bring her a sense of joy and give her something fun and refreshing to enjoy after long days. Making slushies would not only be fun, but also another way for her to share her creativity with others.
