He / Him
St. Louis, Missouri
Anthony Rey lives in the city of Lake St. Louis, Missouri and has four years of lived experience, an experience that has shaped him in profound ways. Through the highs and lows, he has discovered strength, resilience, and an unwavering determination to carve out a bright future for himself.
One of his passions is immersing himself in the world of music and going on long drives. At 18, owning his car that is fully paid off is his biggest accomplishment. He can go where he wants when he wants as he pleases, and he doesn't want it any other way.
He gathered the courage to share his personal journey through the foster care system by writing a story, which was published in his school's publications. To his surprise, it was acknowledged and recognized by Best of SNO and this came to him as a shock as this was his first ever story written.
During his spare hours, Anthony watches the medical drama "House MD" and listens to Ricky Montgomery. His music never fails to cheer him up when he needs it.
Anthony's intro into the system was anything but pleasant but he found his place and has embraced who he is as a result of the entrance into care. Anthony now has a wonderful support system that has helped him through my darkest time. Without them he doesn't know where he’d be but it wouldn't be here.
