Adriana found that being in foster care significantly benefited her by providing essential appointments for her health and mental well-being. Having previously endured traumatic physical abuse, this support was crucial in helping her access the care she needed. Currently, she is working but wants to enroll in school again in the near future. Adriana lives with siblings, and together, they strive to support one another, with each member doing their part to maintain stability in their home. She holds a strong belief in Christianity and expresses gratitude to God for the progress she has made in her life, despite the hardships she has faced.

Adriana is a young adult who finds joy in shopping and indulging in her hair and makeup routines. Having navigated the challenges of foster care, she is now determined to build a brighter future for herself. Recently, she expressed a desire for a new set of makeup brushes as a gift, reflecting her passion for beauty and self-expression. For Adriana, makeup is not just a hobby; it’s a relaxing activity that allows her to tap into her creativity. Despite facing various challenges and stressors in her life, these simple acts of self-care through personal hygiene and style hold significant meaning for her, providing comfort and a sense of empowerment.
