About Caleb

Caleb is 20 years old and lives in OR

Caleb’s journey through life has been anything but ordinary. Growing up in foster care, he cycled through multiple homes, never staying in one place for long. Despite the instability, he carried with him an unbreakable sense of hope and determination. Twice, he was adopted, only to face the heartbreak of those families not being able to provide the lasting stability he craved. But Caleb’s resilience kept him going. He learned to navigate the twists and turns of a life that was often out of his control, finding solace in his imagination and a deep desire to one day share his story with the world. Now, in his early twenties, Caleb has reached a milestone he never thought possible: he has his own duplex. It’s a space that represents freedom—freedom from the system that once confined him and the start of a new chapter in his life. For the first time, he feels in control of his future, and he’s excited to embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. One of his biggest dreams is to become an author, creating children’s books that inspire hope and resilience in young readers. He wants to write stories that show children, especially those in the foster care system, that no matter how many times life knocks them down, they can rise again. For Caleb, this is just the beginning of the life he’s always dreamed of—a life built on hope, creativity, and the belief that every child deserves a chance at a better tomorrow.
