Hand tools for Seth to be able to take on projects in his new home

Posted Oct 23, 2024
Seth is getting ready to move out on his own soon and has started to realize he wants what he calls “more adulty” items for his new independent life. For Christmas, he’s asked for a hand tool set that includes all the essentials one might need around the house, such as a hammer, pliers, tape measure, and various screwdrivers. With this gift, Seth hopes to boost his confidence as he embarks on this exciting new chapter. Having the right tools will better equip him for the challenges of homeownership, making the transition feel a little more manageable.

Seth is 19 years old and lives in GA

Seth embodies the very definition of courage. Entering the foster system at just 14 years old, he faced a tumultuous journey, bouncing from group home to group home. Often running away from placements due to poor treatment, he experienced life as a homeless teen, desperately seeking a better existence. In his pain, he turned to drugs as a coping mechanism, attempting to escape the significant trauma of his childhood. However, everything began to change when he was placed with a foster family for the first time. This supportive environment allowed him to slowly heal, recover from his addiction, and learn to trust others. He also took the opportunity to catch up on years of missed education. Remarkably, Seth graduated from high school a year early, and now he enjoys a safe and stable home where he is loved dearly. As he transitions into adulthood, Seth is thriving beautifully, overcoming the challenges he's faced throughout his life.
