Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Jessica’s foster care experience was challenging at first. Being around people she didn’t know made it difficult to adjust. However, once she became more familiar with the foster care system, things began to improve. The system continued to connect her with valuable resources, helping her transition into adulthood. When she turned 18, they supported her in getting her own place, and by 21, they assisted her in securing Section 8 housing. Over time, the foster care system helped shape Jessica into a more independent person. Today, she is a strong, independent woman who faces challenges head-on. She remains highly motivated and focused on reaching her goals in life. In her free time, Jessica enjoys spending time with her family and loved ones, as well as striving for personal growth and success.

Jessica really wants a PlayStation 5 because she thinks it could help her stay connected with her friends and family, even when they're far away. She loves gaming, and the PS5 would let her enjoy online games and share fun virtual experiences with them. For her, having this kind of tech isn’t just about playing games; it’s also a way to unwind, keep in touch, and find a good balance between her responsibilities and having a good time. Plus, it would add some extra fun to her life!
