iPhone for Joahana to communicate with friends and family

Posted Oct 18, 2024
Joahana recently entered foster care, leaving behind a world she once knew. Adapting to new surroundings has been tough, but she clings to the hope of finding friends at her new school. Currently, she relies on a tablet her foster mom picked up for her, but it feels inadequate. Joahana longs for a phone—not just to connect with her new classmates, but to have a lifeline to the only person who understands her current struggles: her foster mom. The thought of starting fresh, playing sports, and trying to fit in is overshadowed by the fear of being alone, unable to reach out when things get overwhelming. She wants the ability to text her foster mom for support or to connect with her new friends. A phone would mean more than just communication; it represents a chance to belong, to be heard, and to build a bridge to a new life that feels so uncertain.

Joahana is 13 years old and lives in NC

Joahana is a beautiful young woman who loves to dance and play soccer. Although she hasn't had an easy childhood, she never lets that hold her back. She is respectful and always happy to help others. Joahana enjoys spending time with her foster mom and foster sisters, cherishing those moments of connection. She also has a girly side and loves to dress up and do her makeup.
