Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Cheyla entered the foster care system when she was eleven years old. This experience that shaped her life has made her much stronger today. She’s a licensed nail technician with a creative eye and a passion for helping others feel their best. In her free time, Cheyla enjoys cooking, painting, and going on scenic hikes. She has a deep love for animals and finds joy in caring for them. Whether she’s behind the wheel on a peaceful drive or indulging in self-care, Cheyla values balance, creativity, and personal growth in everything she does.

Cheyla would love an Xbox Series S for her birthday because gaming is one of the ways she relaxes, escapes stress, and connects with others. After entering the foster system at age 11, she learned early on how important it is to find healthy outlets for joy and connection. The Xbox Series S would give her a fun and positive way to unwind after a long day, whether she’s enjoying a solo game to clear her mind or playing online with friends to feel more connected and supported. With her love for creativity and focus, gaming also gives Cheyla the chance to challenge herself, explore new worlds, and tap into her playful side.
