An Apple Watch for Makenzie on her birthday

Makenzie, 19 years old

Wish submitted by:

NJ DCFS - Cumberland County

Makenzie has been in the foster care system since April 2022 and is currently living in foster care, away from her family. Despite the challenges she faces, Makenzie has aspirations of living independently after graduation. She is particularly interested in pursuing her education at college or a trade school for cosmetology. In her free time, she enjoys hanging out with friends and getting her hair done—a passion that aligns with her career goals. Maintaining connections with her friends and family, especially those who live far away, is very important to her, as these relationships provide support and comfort during this transitional period in her life.

Makenzie has been eyeing an Apple Watch for quite some time, captivated by its sleek design and the advanced technology it offers. She believes that pairing it with her phone would enhance her daily routines and keep her connected in a more efficient way. The excitement in her voice is evident whenever she talks about the features she looks forward to exploring, particularly the health and fitness tracking capabilities. This year, she made a special request for it as a birthday gift, hoping to finally add this tech accessory to her collection.
