Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Crystal entered foster care when she was just 7 years old, which meant she had to part ways with her two sisters and brother. Despite these tough beginnings, she has shown a lot of strength. Living with mild autism, she adjusts to new places but always finds comfort in the things she loves. Crystal is special because of her gentle nature and love for learning. She enjoys going to school and appreciates her daily routines. One of her favorite ways to relax is listening to music while cleaning, as it helps her feel calm and centered. She also loves Chinese food, which always brings a smile to her face. Family is very important to Crystal. She treasures moments spent watching movies with them and enjoys simple times together. Going for walks is another favorite activity, allowing her to clear her mind and explore at her own pace. She also loves taking trips with her loved ones. Crystal is thoughtful, observant, and caring — a young woman with a quiet strength and a bright future ahead.

Crystal doesn’t usually care for luxury but loves collecting slippers, as each pair adds to her comfort and joy at home. For her, UGG slippers are more than just footwear; they’re a source of relaxation. Each unique design reflects her personal style, which she values deeply. As she continues to build confidence and independence, these slippers play a significant role in her daily life. Ultimately, they symbolize her journey toward embracing comfort and self-expression.
