Meet Leanna, who is a bright, big-hearted girl with a spark all her own. She’s the kind of kid whose smile sneaks up on you: a little shy at first, but once she feels comfortable, her kindness and sense of humor shine. Leanna loves spending time with friends—especially when they team up for video games—and she’ll never turn down a trip to Chick-fil-A (her absolute favorite!). At home, she’s often found playing with her dog, patiently teaching new tricks and celebrating every success like it’s a big win. She dreams of becoming a police officer one day so she can help others and make her community a safer place. It’s a goal that shows exactly who she is: caring, brave, and full of determination.

Leanna has her heart set on receiving a tablet as her Christmas present. This isn’t just a fun gadget for her; it will be an essential companion in her academic journey. With its vibrant screen and user-friendly interface, she'll be able to dive into educational apps and online resources that will enhance her homework and foster a deeper understanding of her studies. Beyond academics, the tablet will also offer her a window to the world, allowing her to connect with relatives who live far away. Video calls and messages will help her maintain those invaluable connections, making her feel closer to family despite the distance. This gift would not only fill her leisure time with enjoyable games but also send a heartfelt message that she is cherished and thought of during the magical Christmas season. Just knowing that someone is thinking about her needs and aspirations will bring her immense joy and warmth.
