Partnership for Families, Children and Adults

Nasir is a high school senior who plays baseball and is working hard to stay focused on their future during a time of transition. Despite experiencing housing instability during their final year of school, they remain determined to graduate and pursue higher education. They have already applied to college and completed the FAFSA, taking proactive steps toward continuing their education. With the support of a trusted adult, the client has made significant progress toward regaining stability and beginning to plan for independence. They are also exploring part-time employment opportunities, particularly in community or recreation settings, as they enjoy sports and working as part of a team. Like many young people navigating major life changes, the client has faced emotional challenges but continues to demonstrate resilience and a strong willingness to grow. Through consistent guidance and goal-setting, they are learning to move forward, focus on their strengths, and build a positive path ahead. This client’s story reflects perseverance, accountability, and hope for the future as they work toward graduation, employment, and long-term stability.

Nair needs an electric bike to support consistent transportation to both school and employment. Reliable transportation is a significant barrier, as public transit options are limited and do not consistently align with his school and work schedules. An electric bike would provide a dependable, affordable, and independent means of transportation, allowing him to attend classes regularly, maintain employment, and continue working toward long-term stability. Access to an electric bike would reduce missed opportunities, increase accountability, and support his ability to remain focused on his educational and career goals during this critical transition period.
