NM CYFD - Dona Ana County

Caiden has been in and out of foster care since 2022. Caiden lost his mother at a very young age and his father is currently incarcerated. Caiden is excelling in school and has passed all his courses with A's and B's. Caiden is working towards strengthening his relationships with his family members and natural support system. Caiden enjoys playing video games, listening to music, and reading.

Caiden is currently enrolled at a local community college and is in need of a new laptop. The laptop he was using before entering care was over five years old and has recently broken down. This has created a barrier for him as he needs a functional computer to complete his summer courses. Unfortunately, the college does not have any loaner devices available during the summer. Caiden relies heavily on his laptop to complete assignments and take part in online classes. A new laptop would enable him to continue his education without interruption.
