A new phone for Manny who is struggling through dropped calls

Posted Feb 13, 2025
Manny has been relying on a government-issued phone that, unfortunately, does not function consistently. Even when trying to contact Manny, the calls often fail. Because of this, Manny has also missed several calls from potential employers and clients, resulting in lost income and work opportunities. As someone working in tech, having a reliable and up-to-date phone is essential for tasks such as demonstrating products, providing tech support on the go, and staying connected. Manny has been using a Google Voice number as a temporary solution, but without consistent access to Wi-Fi, they are unable to complete many essential tasks. Given that they have been without a functioning phone for almost a month, they are requesting this wish to ensure they can maintain reliable communication and regain work opportunities.

Manny is 23 years old and lives in CA

Manny grew up in homelessness with his mother up until his toddler years. Manny spent the rest of their childhood in the foster care system where they faced the horrors of group homes with a lack of monitoring and supervision. During his teenage years, Manny became a runaway homeless youth. Today, he works with many organizations dealing with policy and advocacy work and is starting his own clothing brand! Manny uses both he/him and they/them pronouns.
