At 14 I was left to raise my 6-year-old brother until the system tore us apart

At 14, when Samuel was taken away, I promised him, “This isn’t forever.” Despite being told I was too young, I worked hard—juggling jobs and school—to prove I could care for him.

With help from my landlady and a lawyer, I fixed up a room and fought the system. On the final day, the judge finally agreed I could give Samuel a loving home.

When he ran into my arms, I knew family truly is magic.
