Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Dulce, who has been in the foster care system since she was 16, is doing everything she can to create a bright and stable future for her baby. She is determined to be a better person for her child, working hard toward her goals while balancing the demands of motherhood. Between caring for her little one and pursuing her dreams, she rarely takes time for herself. She finds joy in the simple things like a walk in nature, sketching her latest ideas, or getting lost in a good book, and dreams of finding more ways to nurture her creativity.

Dulce is a devoted full-time mom who always prioritizes her baby’s needs, often putting her own needs last. On the rare weekends when she has a little time for herself, she dreams of having a stylish handbag that she can use while getting ready to go out, helping her feel confident and put together. This bag would be a small yet meaningful way for her to treat herself, celebrate her hard work as a mother, and enjoy a moment that is just for her.
