Amanda is a shy, soft-spoken girl with a mild-mannered personality. She has faced many challenges in her life, including a lack of stability in her housing situation and ongoing health issues. As a result, her academic progress has been hindered since a very young age. Despite these obstacles, Amanda maintains a positive outlook and remains hopeful for a brighter future. Amanda has a significant history with the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P) and has experienced multiple out-of-home placements. Recently, she and her two sisters were reunited after the loss of their mother last year.

Amanda enjoys being creative and learning new skills. A rubber band bracelet-making kit would be a great way for her to spend her free time. She loves making colorful bracelets and sharing them with her family. However, she recently ran out of rubber bands and can no longer continue this fun activity. Amanda would love a rubber band bracelet-making kit, which would allow her to continue enjoying and developing this skill.
