Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Ava has spent much of her childhood in and out of foster care. She was diagnosed with lupus at a very young age, which affects her ability to live life like any other ordinary kid. Despite these challenges, she has not let them hold her back from pursuing her dreams. She attends college part-time while also working a full-time job. Ava has big aspirations to do good in the world.

Ava works long hours but still struggles to have extra funds after covering her expenses. When she does have some spare money, she prefers to spend it on her friends, as spending time with them and seeing their happiness brings her great joy. She has wanted a specific bottle of perfume for years, but has never had the opportunity to buy it. Receiving this perfume as a gift would bring a huge smile to Ava's face and remind her that her hard work is recognized and valued.
