San Diego Youth Services

Victor is a great young man who is focused on overcoming his past trauma. He currently lives in a group home and is working toward transitioning into extended foster care housing. With limited family support nearby, Victor relies on his group home staff and extended foster care team for guidance and encouragement. He consistently shows respect and gratitude toward his team, appreciating everything they have done for him. Victor has a great sense of humor, often making his team laugh and reminding them to enjoy life.

Victor needs a new phone because his current one no longer holds a charge, making it difficult for him to stay connected with the people who matter most. His siblings live in another state, and keeping in touch with them a few times a week is an important source of comfort and motivation. On top of that, Victor is working hard to earn his high school diploma while attending a welding program four days a week, a demanding two-year commitment that shows his determination to build a better future. A reliable phone would help him stay connected with his loved ones and organized with his studies and program responsibilities.
