Foster Nation

Iyonna grew up in the foster care system and faced many challenges, especially having her concerns about her guardians ignored. Living with her guardian often caused her distress. However, she found comfort in education, sports, the arts, and spending time with friends and family. Iyonna is proud of how she left the foster care system and has experienced difficult situations due to the people in charge of her care. In five years, she hopes to be happy and fulfilled, discover her passion, and forgive herself to move on to a better life.

Iyonna recently graduated from college and is excited to start her new job. As she prepares for this next chapter in her life, she is also working on obtaining her driver's license. In the meantime, she relies on public transportation to navigate her suburban area, which often results in commutes lasting several hours for essential trips to work, grocery stores, and healthcare services. To improve her situation, Iyonna is hoping for an electric bike, which would significantly reduce her travel times and help set her up for success in her new career.
