Gustavo, 19 years old, CA | 6 DAYS WAITING

Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Gustavo has been in the foster care system since the age of 16 and has faced many challenges along the way. They are in a transitional living program and learning every day. Cooking has always been a passion, and one of their favorite things to make is sweet potato pie. Now, as they adjust to adult life, they are focused on finding work and building a stable future. In their free time, they enjoy watching anime and taking peaceful outdoor walks to clear their mind.

Gustavo is currently attending school full-time and relies on public transportation to get to class each day. With the colder weather approaching, he is hoping to receive a sweater from his favorite team to keep him warm during his daily bus rides. This sweater would provide him with both comfort and happiness, as he is a loving and caring young boy who works hard and rarely asks for anything for himself. This small gesture would mean a great deal to him and help him feel supported as he continues to focus on his education.
