Selena

Selena has spent 13 years navigating the foster care system, facing challenges like homelessness, uncertainty, and struggling to meet basic needs like food and safety. Through it all, she’s carried a remarkable resilience and kindness, refusing to let her past define her future.

Her dream has been to build her own jewelry business, but Selena knew that achieving this dream would take more than talent: it would take guidance, mentorship, and the tools to turn her ideas into a real, sustainable business.

Thanks to supporters like you, Selena was provided with the supplies to participate in an entrepreneurship program that taught her essential business skills, brand development, and provided mentors to help her create a three-year plan for her jewelry business.

Selena is just one of the many youth we’ve had the privilege of walking alongside through multiple dreams, and each step of the way, your support has helped her grow, learn, and move closer to the future she’s working so hard to build.

From selling her jewelry to managing a part-time job, Selena is transforming her dedication into tangible success, made possible by Dream Makers like you!
