Celebrating Leoni, one of our incredible Next Steps young adults 🎓
At 26, Leoni has officially graduated from Florida Atlantic University with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering, a milestone that reflects years of hard work, perseverance, and determination. We are so proud to see him step into this next chapter with such purpose and vision.
“I lived at SOS from the ages of 8–13 with my three brothers, Roberto, Michael, and Devan. SOS gave us the opportunity to finally stay together after being separated in foster homes, and it provided us with a stable environment where we could truly be kids, grow, and feel supported.
As I graduate college, my goals are to secure a full-time career in mechanical engineering, become financially stable, and build generational wealth for my family. Most importantly, I hope to one day give back to the same community that helped shape and support me throughout my childhood.”
