Keyonna, 18 years old, MO | 34 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Keyonna has spent five years in foster care, experiencing multiple placements in residential and foster homes. Now, she’s excited to take a big step as she moves into her very first apartment for transitional living. A person who loves baking, cooking, and cleaning, she enjoys spending quality time with family and friends. Passionate about working with children, Keyonna is still exploring her career path, but she knows her warm personality naturally attracts others.

Keyonna has earned only 11 credit hours toward the 24 required for high school graduation, primarily due to her multiple placements rather than a lack of ability or effort. To overcome this challenge, she plans to complete an online program for her diploma. Having an iPad would greatly assist her in finishing assignments at home, eliminating the need for costly trips to the library via Uber, Lyft, or taxi.
