CA DCFS - Los Angeles County

Sara is a young adult who has faced numerous challenges throughout her life. Her journey with mental health issues began in middle school, leading to several psychiatric hospitalizations. Since turning 18, Sara has been diligently working on addressing her mental health needs. She recently started attending school and has made impressive progress, catching up on her credits and is expected to graduate. Sara is goal-oriented, generous, resilient, and intelligent. Due to her medications, her weight has fluctuated over the past year, and she needs clothes that fit well and make her feel comfortable, especially since she tries to find outfits that help conceal her scars. Support from her family is limited, as her parents live outside of the United States. Despite these challenges, Sara maintains a positive attitude and strives to bring happiness to others. She is excited about graduating high school and plans to enroll in college afterward. Sara describes herself as a "loving fighter in life," with aspirations to give back and help others in the future.

Sara loves to shop for clothes. Choosing her own outfits will boost her self-confidence and help her stay motivated to achieve her goals. This activity not only brings her joy but also plays a vital role in her personal growth.
