Story
We are seeking assistance on behalf of a resilient 15-year-old girl currently placed in foster care. Her journey has been marked by significant adversity.
This young girl has experienced neglect, instability, and profound emotional harm during critical developmental years. As a result, she struggles with behavior regulation, defiance, and decision-making. These behaviors are not simply oppositional—they are the result of deep, unresolved trauma and a lack of consistent, supportive adult relationships throughout her life.
Currently, she resides in a foster home that is committed to helping her rebuild trust and stability. However, she is facing a significant barrier to her education: she does not have access to a device to complete her online schooling. This lack of access has halted her academic progress and has the potential to widen existing educational gaps.
Despite her challenges, this youth shows a desire to succeed and move forward. Providing her with a dedicated device would not only support her academic needs but also offer her a sense of empowerment and normalcy—two things that are crucial for healing and growth.
We are respectfully requesting support in the form of a laptop or tablet to allow her to resume her schooling, engage with her education, and take a step toward a more hopeful and stable future.
Thank you.
