We Fortify - Working Fusion at Mill Street

Leon has spent most of his life in foster care, moving from home to home and never truly knowing what stability or safety felt like. Now a young adult living on his own, Leon is determined to change that narrative and create a future defined by purpose, independence, and growth. Though naturally reserved and still learning how to ask for help, Leon continues to show up for himself every day. He’s focused on learning life skills that were never taught to him, finishing the last few credits he needs to complete high school, and enrolling in a welding program soon after. With his grit, determination, and the support he’s building around him, Leon is on his way to creating the stable, successful life he’s always wanted. There’s no telling how far he’ll go.

Gaming has been a positive outlet for Leon, providing him with a space to build friendships and connect with a community. However, he has never had his own headset. This gift would enable him to communicate with his friends more easily. It’s more than just a gaming accessory; it’s a vital tool for connection, teamwork, and a sense of belonging.
