Aging Out with Hope
Youth aging out of foster care are more at risk to engage in drugs & alcohol, become sex trafficked, homeless, incarcerated, and struggle with mental illness than any other youth that has not been subjected to living in foster care and undergone certain traumatic experiences.
She Fought! She Won! She Conquered!
Determined not to allow her past to dictate her future.
Her goal is to fight for as many young adults
aging out of foster care as she can.
The young adults will not lose.
They will no longer EXIST in this world, THEY WILL LIVE!
"Youth Leaving Foster Care Should Age Out With Hope!" - Octavia Bradley, Founder
The Past of a Little Girl Determined To Live!
She was taken from her mother because her mother was a drug addict, then she was put in a home where she was told her life would be better. She would find out that her life became worse.

Abused and Homeless Behind the Smile
Aging out into a world that held no punches. Smiling for the camera while being broken on the inside, sleeping from place to place, and getting abused. No one would have ever known.
AGING OUT OF CARE
WITH
SUPPORT GAVE ME HOPE
"I was in foster care since the age of 6 with no adoptive family,
and then I met my social worker Octavia Bradley, who went
above and beyond to get my sister and I adopted into loving
homes.
She is a great, passionate woman who cares about those she is helping. She provided me with
the opportunity to live a better life outside of foster care by linking me with the resources that I needed, showing me how to budget my finances, showed me how to fill out applications, and
helped me seek out the pain of my past so I could live in this world productively."
