Ka'Melle, 17 years old, NE

Wish submitted by:

Ka’Melle was removed from her biological father because he had dropped her off at the hospital due to concerns about suicidal thoughts. However, the hospital did not admit Ka’Melle because there were no signs of suicidal behavior, and they called her father to pick her up. He did not answer the phone, so the hospital contacted DHHS. She currently lives with her grandmother and aunt. In her free time, Ka'Melle enjoys watching movies. She also likes to learn. In addition to reading books, she enjoys watching documentaries about people's lives to understand different backgrounds and ethnicities.

Ka’Melle would really benefit from having a Bluetooth speaker because it would give her a way to create her own space, especially when things get busy or noisy around her siblings. Being able to play her favorite music in her room or a quiet area would help her unwind and reset when she needs a break. It also allows her to control her environment in a simple, positive way, giving her a sense of independence and calm. This gift would provide her with an outlet to relax, recharge, and enjoy time to herself while still doing something she loves.
