Gilbert is a motivated and responsible young man who has grown up navigating the foster care system with resilience. His experiences have taught him independence and the importance of being prepared. Gilbert is focused on his education and understands how confidence and self-presentation contribute to feeling comfortable and successful at school. He remains dedicated, responsible, and motivated, demonstrating maturity beyond his years. His commitment to personal growth and success makes him an inspiring individual who deserves encouragement and support.

Gilbert is looking for a new phone because he needs a reliable device to stay connected and organized on his path to independence. A good smartphone would help him communicate with employers, caseworkers, and support services. It would also help him manage his appointments, find important resources, navigate transportation, quickly apply for jobs, and handle daily tasks.
