Scarlette entered foster care when she was just 9 years old, facing tough challenges early in life. Despite this, she has grown into a strong and creative young woman. She loves makeup, using bold colors and unique styles to express herself. Music is also very important to her; playing the piano helps her escape and find comfort. When she needs to relax, she enjoys playing video games to take her mind off things. Scarlette has struggled with depression, but she's determined to keep moving forward, finding strength in the things she loves. Right now, she works at Popeyes, juggling responsibilities while working towards her future. Her journey hasn’t been easy, but her spirit and determination shine through every obstacle. Scarlette is not just defined by her past; she’s a fighter, an artist, and a young woman ready to shape her own life.

Scarlette is asking for a MacBook because it would be an essential tool in helping her succeed academically and creatively. The MacBook would allow her to complete school assignments, conduct research, attend online classes, and stay organized with her coursework. It would also support her creative interests, including music and digital expression, giving her a healthy and productive outlet for her emotions. Having a reliable computer would reduce stress, improve her ability to keep up with schoolwork, and help her stay motivated as she works toward independence and stability.
