YMCA - ILS

Mazlynn has been in the foster care system for several years. During her teenage years, she lived in a group home, where she remained until she aged out. While at the group home, Mazlynn was one of the few residents who adhered to and successfully completed her program, which provided her with more independent opportunities. Mazlynn enjoys spending time outdoors and staying active. She is an outgoing person who loves to make people laugh and has a big heart. Even when times get tough, Mazlynn doesn’t let challenges keep her down; she always gets back up and is willing to work hard to achieve her goals. Mazlynn is truly a warrior and will accomplish great things once she reaches her aspirations.

Mazlynn is a determined individual who is focused on staying busy and achieving financial stability. Since leaving the group home, she has concentrated on finding employment and becoming more independent. After turning 18, she has successfully maintained a job. While Mazlynn has been using public transportation to get to work, she has realized that she needs an additional means of transportation. She would like to get an e-scooter to make her commute faster from the bus stops, as she has a long walk to her workplace. After a long day at work, she finds the walk particularly challenging and would like to simplify her commute.
