MO DSS Children's Division - Jackson County

Jessie is a very bright young lady currently in foster care. She lives with a family that cares for medically fragile children. Jessie enjoys unicorns, crossword puzzles, and word searches. Her favorite color is pink, and she loves to play with playdough, creating animal shapes. Jessie enjoys visiting the zoo to see all the animals, and her favorite animal there is the polar bear. She loves school, particularly her fashion merchandising class. However, she doesn't like rainy days because they increase her joint pain. Despite this, Jessie continues to smile and maintain a positive attitude through it all.

A tablet would be a great gift for Jessie. Since she uses a wheelchair and has some mobility issues, it would really help her day-to-day life. With surgeries coming up, she’ll be spending a lot of time in bed recovering. Having a tablet would give her fun things to do and keep her entertained, making her recovery a bit easier. It would also give her more options for activities once she’s feeling better, which could really boost her mood and overall well-being.
