CA DCFS - Los Angeles County

Akeema has faced many challenges in foster care and often struggles to express herself. She lacks natural support and can sometimes feel unseen or misunderstood. Even so, she continues to show strength by exploring her interests and searching for a healthy way to express herself. Akeema is deeply curious and creative, with a growing passion for dance, music, art, and music production. She also enjoys staying active

Akeema is hoping to receive Beats by Dre headphones this holiday season. This gift would hold special significance for her, as her upbringing has led her to believe she is not deserving of the things she desires. Receiving these headphones would reinforce her sense of self-worth, helping her feel valued and supported in ways that align with her interests and experiences. Additionally, Akeema enjoys doing her homework while listening to music, as it helps her concentrate better. These headphones would not only enhance her study sessions but also validate her feelings and aspirations.
