Miko is a determined college student pursuing her dream of becoming a registered nurse. After aging out of foster care in Sacramento, she has spent the past few years navigating school, work, and adulthood largely on her own. Despite experiencing homelessness before finding stable housing, Tamiko has consistently stayed focused on her goals. She has held jobs, remained enrolled in college, and prioritized her education, even when resources were scarce. What makes Miko stand out is her strength under pressure. She doesn’t complain and never gives up. Her dream is to work in healthcare and provide the kind of care and compassion she wishes she had received more of during her upbringing. With stability and support, she is ready to keep moving forward—one class, one shift, and one step at a time. and one step at a time.

After aging out of foster care, Miko has spent years juggling work, school, and life with minimal support. Though she is resourceful and independent, managing everything on her own can be challenging.

With eight drawers and a clean tabletop surface, Miko can organize her school supplies, important documents, and daily essentials, making it easier for her to stay focused on her goals. Whether she's doing homework or getting ready for work, having an organized home base allows her to approach her tasks with less stress and more confidence.
