Michelle has triumphed over numerous traumatic experiences in recent years, including instances of sexual and physical abuse. Despite these challenges, she has shown remarkable strength, navigating through four different foster homes while still managing to thrive. Michelle faces anxiety, mood disorders, and ADHD, but she remains focused on her goals. One of her dreams is to become a food truck owner, a passion fueled by her love of cooking and her desire to help others. To stay on a positive path, she actively volunteers at a local food pantry and engages in youth activities. In her spare time, Michelle enjoys baking and exploring local thrift stores, finding joy in both her hobbies and the community around her. With her determination and spirit, she continues to inspire those around her.

Michelle has hit the ground running with her plans to start her own business. She is no stranger to hard work; however, she currently needs assistance to purchase the necessary supplies and equipment to kickstart her venture. Michelle hopes to achieve her goals so she can save up some money and be ready to take on the world once she ages out. Given her traumatic past and medical conditions, the path of self-employment feels like the right fit for her, allowing her to forge her own way in life. This request for a prep table is another step toward starting her amazing new business!
