Meet Aaron, an 18-year-old Independent Living Ambassador with Necco, who’s opening the door—literally—to life on his own terms. In this video, Aaron gives us a personal tour of his apartment while answering 21 rapid-fire questions about his favorite things (and a few pet peeves). From furniture to fridge essentials, he shows how Necco’s Independent Living program sets young adults up for success with real support and real independence.

Necco goes above and beyond to support its independent living youth by making sure their apartments are not just functional, but truly livable. They provide essential furnishings and bedroom basics. On top of that, Necco even helps stock the kitchen with groceries if needed, along with cleaning supplies to keep the space comfortable. It’s a generous and thoughtful approach that helps young people feel at home as they take steps toward independence.

Meet Aaron, an 18-year-old Independent Living Ambassador from Lexington, KY.

As a full-time student at the University of Kentucky pursuing dual degrees in criminal justice and political science—with aspirations of law school and a future in public service—Aaron balances academics, work, and a social life with remarkable focus. After entering Necco through an emergency protective order, he embraced their Independent Living program and transitioned into having his own apartment.

Necco helps ease the stress of adulthood, allowing Aaron to stay focused on his goals. His story is a powerful reminder that turning 18 doesn’t mean facing everything alone.

Sarah felt a profound calling to become a foster parent, despite initial doubts and challenges.
