Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Alisson is a motivated and resilient young adult who entered the foster care system at an early age and has continued to demonstrate strength, independence, and perseverance throughout her journey. She balances a busy schedule that includes both work and school, showing responsibility and determination as she manages multiple priorities and works toward long-term stability. Alisson maintains a positive outlook and appears in good spirits while juggling her responsibilities. She benefits from a supportive network of friends and family who encourage her academic pursuits and provide motivation when needed. While she values her independence, she appreciates having access to resources and support systems and knows when to reach out for assistance.

Alisson is wishing for an ice maker this Christmas because it would bring convenience and ease to her busy daily life. Balancing work, school, and personal responsibilities, she appreciates tools that help simplify routines and make everyday tasks a little smoother. She also finds that chewing ice helps calm her anxiety, so having her own ice maker would be a small but meaningful way to support her independence, comfort, and well-being at home.
