We Fortify - Working Fusion at Mill Street

Zara is in the process of building a life rooted in independence, stability, and purpose. Balancing both school and full-time work, he’s determined to finish his high school diploma while growing in his career. Zara has a natural gift for working with children — his patience, kindness, and sense of responsibility make him a positive role model for the kids he cares for every day. Recently promoted at his workplace, Zara continues to show that hard work and heart go hand in hand. Beyond his achievements, he’s also navigating past traumas and putting in the effort to heal and move forward, striving each day to become the best version of himself. His journey is one of quiet strength, growth, and genuine compassion for others.

Zara wishes for stuffed animals for the kids at the daycare. This wish isn’t for himself, but for the children he spends his days nurturing. Zara knows how much comfort and happiness a small stuffed animal can bring, especially to a child who needs a little extra love or reassurance. These stuffies would bring smiles, laughter, and warmth to the kids he cares so deeply about — a reflection of Zara’s generous heart and the way he finds joy in helping others feel safe and happy.
