Equipping the Called Foster and Crisis Closet

Hannah has been in foster care since she was 12 years old due to her mother's struggles with substance abuse. Her mother was unable to care for Hannah and her eight siblings. As Hannah approaches the age of independence, she is determined to thrive on her own. She plans to pursue a career in social work to support children like herself who are in the system. Hannah is very committed to making her future different from her past.

As Hannah prepares for her senior year of high school, she is excited to take college-level courses to get a jump start on her future. Currently, she relies on a Chromebook provided by her school; however, its restrictions limit her access to essential resources needed for her college classes. Since the Chromebook must be returned upon her graduation, she finds herself in need of a device that will support her academic needs. An iPad would not only be beneficial during her final year of high school but also crucial as she transitions to college in just over a year. Hannah would deeply appreciate any assistance in reaching her goals and making this important journey a little easier.
