An iPhone for DeAnthony to celebrate his birthday

Posted Jan 23, 2025
DeAnthony just celebrated another birthday, and his heartfelt wish was for a new phone. His old one was barely hanging on and now it just completely quit. That phone wasn’t just a gadget; it was his lifeline to family and friends, connecting him to the relationships he cherished before his displacement. Recently, he has also blossomed new friendships that he wants to nurture and maintain. DeAnthony is a dynamic, sociable young man, and a phone is more than a convenience for him; it's a vital tool for staying connected and sharing his vibrant life with others. Plus, having a phone would bring peace of mind to his caregivers, knowing they can reach him whenever needed. With a new phone, DeAnthony could truly thrive in both his old and new circles, making everyday connections that matter so much.

DeAnthony is 15 years old and lives in MO

DeAnthony is a very funny young man! He loves to be the jokester in any room and enjoys making people laugh and smile. He will do anything to get a rise out of those around him, thriving on the happiness of others. DeAnthony has a unique ability to sense when someone needs him and his humor. He is a hardworking individual who dedicates himself to his education and life goals. Like many young men his age, he loves to socialize and spend time with his peers. He is also an avid video game player. With his great personality, DeAnthony is truly a joy to be around. Currently, he is in foster care.
