Give Something Back

Maddie is an incredibly strong and resilient young woman whose journey has been marked by significant challenges and unwavering determination. Throughout her life, she has faced the instability of the foster care system and the harsh reality of homelessness experiences that would have broken many, yet Maddie has emerged from these trials even stronger, more focused, and deeply motivated to create a brighter future for herself. Despite the unfair and difficult circumstances she has been forced to navigate, Maddie has consistently demonstrated remarkable perseverance, making steady and meaningful progress toward building a better, more stable life. Today, she is an active and valued member of the Give Something Back scholarship program, where she not only benefits from the support offered but also contributes positively to the community through her involvement, leadership, and inspiring outlook. Maddie’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and hope in the face of adversity.

Madeline is respectfully requesting a phone to help her navigate her challenging circumstances. Currently, she is facing significant hardships and lacks a reliable support system, making it difficult for her to access essential resources and stay connected with opportunities that could improve her situation. As a young person working diligently to regain stability and build a better future, having access to a phone is crucial for her. It would enable her to communicate with potential employers, social services, educational programs, and mentors, as well as stay in touch with important contacts who can provide guidance and support. A phone would not only be a vital tool for daily communication but also an essential lifeline in her efforts to create a more secure and hopeful future.
