Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Makyra, along with her twin sister, entered the foster care system at birth and experienced several placements before being placed with a permanent family. She is a kind and compassionate young woman who has naturally taken on the role of protector, often speaking up on behalf of her sister. Makyra is intelligent, focused, and determined, with a clear vision for her future. In her free time, she dedicates herself to studying, reflecting her strong commitment to her education and career goals. She is enrolled in a Medical Assistant program while simultaneously working a full-time job, demonstrating her work ethic and perseverance. While she is beginning her career as a Medical Assistant, Makyra has long-term aspirations of advancing to become a Registered Nurse. She views her current role as an important first step in establishing herself in the medical field and achieving her ultimate career goals.

Makyra is asking for a new set of cookware to help her and her twin sister create a supportive home. They cook together, sharing the responsibility of making meals, and having the right pots and pans will make their cooking easier and healthier. Cooking together is also a great way for them to bond and support each other as they work towards their education and career goals. More supplies and materials will help them feel more organized and comfortable at home.
