NJ DCFS - Ocean County

Star is a shy and quiet young lady with a deep passion for working out and reading. She finds immense joy in spending time with her sisters, who bring so much happiness to her life. One of her proudest achievements is being a loving big sister, a role she takes to heart. Dedicated and motivated, Star works diligently toward her goal of attending college in the near future. As she focuses on improving her mental health, she engages fully with services that support her journey toward a healthier and happier future.

Star is deeply passionate about fashion design and is currently working hard to develop her skills in this creative field. However, she’s been facing a significant hurdle – she doesn’t have a computer. This lack of technology makes it really tough for her to create and save her work, which is so crucial in design. Getting an iPad would change everything for her. It would not only provide her with the tools she needs to bring her creative ideas to life, but it would also help her build important digital skills that are essential in today’s world. Plus, having an iPad would keep her connected with her friends, her sibling who is in foster care, and new support networks she’s trying to form. Overall, the iPad would be a game-changer for Star, supporting both her education and her social life. Unfortunately, her current financial situation makes it impossible for her to afford such an important resource, especially since she’s working hard to support herself in her own apartment.
