Jay is a hard-working senior in high school who's experienced housing insecurity throughout his life, that's led him to move from one home to another. This has made it difficult to find stability at school, home, and work. When Jay turned 18 in June 2022, his parents told him he'd be responsible for paying all school fees. But he recently had to leave his job at a restaurant after another move. Although he's currently seeking employment, he doesn't have the money to pay for his 3-credit course fee in Auto Body I; which he needs in order to graduate.
