AcademySTAYDesi is a former foster youth who aged out of care in 2019 after entering the system at age 12. Since that time, she has faced periods of homelessness while striving for independence and pursuing her goals. Desi describes herself as a determined hard worker who believes everything happens for a reason. Despite challenges like housing instability and lack of transportation, she has recently secured stable housing through AcademySTAY, opening new doors for her future. She is currently working toward her cosmetology license, with ambitions to obtain steady employment, complete her education, get her driver's license, and secure consistent healthcare access. Additionally, Desi is keen on developing financial literacy and money management skills, which she didn't have the opportunity to learn in foster care. With a stable foundation in place, she is ready to invest in herself and work toward the independent life she deserves.
Desi is a young woman who has faced numerous challenges since leaving the foster care system in 2019. After struggling with homelessness, she has now found stable housing through AcademySTAY. With strong determination, she is focused on achieving her goals, which include finishing cosmetology school, obtaining her driver’s license, and starting a career she can be proud of. Desi knows exactly what she wants: a specific pair of pink boots. These boots are bold, well-made, and symbolize how far she has come. After aging out of the foster care system, Desi is now working, saving, and building a life that finally feels like her own. The boots represent more than just fashion; they embody her personal expression. She chose them carefully, and she is not asking for anything else. The higher price of the boots reflects their quality and durability, but more importantly, it represents her voice in a system that hasn’t always listened. This wish is not just about shoes; it's about confidence, self-worth, and finally being able to say: "This is me."
