Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Luis has been in foster care for several years and has faced many challenges, like adjusting to new homes. Despite these struggles, he has become a strong and resilient young man. He learned the importance of independence and never giving up, even when things are tough. Luis is known for his perseverance; he keeps trying no matter how difficult the situation gets. He is also resourceful and often figures things out on his own, which helps him do well in school and stick to his goals, even without consistent support. Luis is kind and respectful, always trying to bring positivity to others. In his free time, he loves being outdoors, listening to music, and learning about mechanics and technology. He enjoys helping others and often mentors younger kids. Riding bikes or scooters gives him a sense of freedom. What really stands out about Luis is his maturity; people say he is wise beyond his years. His life experiences have shaped him into someone who not only survives tough times but also grows from them.

Luis is asking for an electric scooter because it would significantly improve his daily life. He often has to rely on others or walk long distances to get to school, appointments, or part-time jobs. Having a scooter would give him more independence and reliability in his transportation. It would also save him time and energy, allowing him to focus more on school and personal goals. More than just a convenience, the scooter would be a tool to support his journey toward becoming self-sufficient and successful.
