Adeline is a kind and loving girl with autism. Her warm and gentle nature brings joy to everyone around her. Even though she's been in over six different foster homes, she stays strong and hopeful. Adeline always finds ways to share happiness and show kindness to others, even when times are tough. She's been in her current home for awhile and has made great progress. Adeline inspires everyone she meets with her strength, hope, and wish to belong.

Adeline really depends on her school tablet to communicate and connect with others in a way that feels comfortable for her. The problem is that the school tablet can only be used for schoolwork, and she doesn’t have a personal device to chat with friends after school. If she had her own tablet, she could keep in touch with her friends, which would make her feel more connected and supported. It would also give her a chance to relax and explore new hobbies or skills. Having her own tablet would help Adeline feel more independent and give her access to fun and helpful resources. This small change could really make a big difference for her!
