AcademySTAYNyla aged out of the foster care system and knows firsthand what it is like to not have a place that feels safe or permanent. Before coming to AcademySTAY, she was unhoused, and she is now focused on building something steady for herself. She is enrolled in a construction trade program and is about to begin a carpentry apprenticeship, with a particular interest in drywall and plastering, and she is determined to turn that training into reliable work. Alongside her trade, Nyla is building the everyday skills of independent living: budgeting, financial literacy, and holding onto safe housing. She is clear about what she wants, which is a secure home of her own and work that lets her feel stable, and she shows up ready to put in the effort to get there.
Something as simple as quality soap matters when you’re living independently for the first time. Nyla asked for Dove beauty bars because a reliable, gentle soap is the foundation of her daily routine, helping her feel clean, cared for, and ready to take on the day. For a young woman navigating so many new responsibilities at once, small consistencies matter more than people realize.
