W is 20 years old and is working hard to build a life that feels steady, safe, and truly her own. She’s been navigating some tough challenges, including the pull of family patterns and environments that make it difficult to stay on the path she wants, but she’s determined to keep moving forward. W has been without stable housing for a long time, often couch surfing to stay warm and safe, and she’s proud of the strength it takes to keep going even when things feel overwhelming. Despite the loneliness that can come with this chapter of her life, W is deeply grateful for the people who remind her of her worth and support her when she needs it most. She’s learning to hold onto hope for herself, believing that she can create a future that feels secure, healthy, and like a place she truly belongs.
