Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Brandel has spent several years in the foster care system, facing a significant number of challenges. However, he remains focused on personal growth and has learned to be self-reliant while still trusting others. His perseverance is one of his greatest strengths; he pushes forward despite obstacles with a positive attitude. Brandel is also a strong communicator and empathetic listener, skills that help him build connections and navigate challenges. In his free time, he enjoys playing video games, listening to music, and engaging in creative storytelling, which brings him comfort and stability. He also has a keen interest in technology and design, often learning about game development. What makes Brandel special is his ability to stay hopeful and driven, using his past experiences to fuel his motivation for a better future.

Brandel wants a PlayStation to connect with family and friends, especially when they can't visit in person. A PlayStation will also give him a chance to relax after a long day at school. When he feels lonely or stressed, a PlayStation would provide comfort, connection, and a healthy way to escape, supporting his emotional well-being and personal growth. Playing games together can help strengthen his relationships and create lasting memories with loved ones.
