Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Haile, who goes by Kai, is a resilient young adult who aged out of foster care after navigating multiple placements throughout her childhood. She has a strong passion for cooking and baking pastries, which she uses as a creative outlet and source of income. Now focused on building stability, she lives in transitional housing and finds joy and companionship in caring for her two beloved cats.

Kai is a talented painter known for her vibrant and expressive artwork. She sells her pieces at the local farmers’ market, where many people have come to appreciate her unique style. However, she finds that having more canvases would allow her to explore new ideas and continue creating beautiful pieces to share with her community. Art is a way to connect with those around her, and the farmers’ market provides a perfect setting for that connection. With more canvases, she could bring even more of her imagination to life and engage with her audience in fresh and exciting ways.
