Kaylee is outgoing and friendly; she never meets a stranger and can easily make conversation and new friends with anyone she encounters. She loves being outdoors and staying active. Additionally, she is a big movie fan and is constantly quoting her favorite films.

Kaylee has been asking for a keyboard piano for Christmas. Music is one of the few things that truly grounds her. Before moving into the group home, she played regularly, and not having an instrument now has taken away an important therapeutic outlet. Playing helps her manage emotions, reduce stress, and express herself in ways she can’t always put into words. A keyboard would give Kaylee a healthy, meaningful way to connect with something she loves while also building accountability as she cares for her own instrument. Kaylee also dreams of becoming a musician, and access to a keyboard would let her continue developing her skills and confidence.
