I am working with a foster mother and 10 yr old girl (turning 11 on 6/27/25) and she would LOVE an iPad for her birthday! This would also really help the foster parents with providing consequences and rewards for her behavior. Her behavior has improved greatly since being placed in the foster home, but this tool would definitely help. It would also give this girl the birthday gift of her dreams. Since being placed in foster care, she has seen neither her mom, nor her dad. Both of them have been very difficult to reach to get visits set up. Prior to being removed from her father's care, he told her that if she went to foster care, she would never see him again. He also told her that she would probably be sexually assaulted because she it cute. The little girl, obviously was afraid and displayed some challenging behaviors when she first came into foster care. However, her foster mom, who is very experienced, stuck it out and things have really improved. If you are able to fulfill this request, I would also ask that the iPad come with a protective case (she requested Hello Kitty, if you can find one!).
