Tablet for 12 y/o Derrick who has made tremendous improvements in his behaviors and academics

Posted Dec 12, 2016
Derrick excels at learning. He takes the initiative to learn how to budget his money at 12 years old, and has taken sewing classes. A tablet will allow Derrick to be able to research ways to prove himself both physically and emotionally. He also want to be able to stay in contact with his 5 siblings that are also in placements, so the tablet would be tremendously helpful.

Derrick is 20 years old and lives in NJ

Derrick is a very smart and outgoing young man who loves to do outdoor activities and spend time with family. He has been in foster care since 2014. When he first entered he had severe behavioral problems including poor boundaries, limited social skills, defiant behaviors, lack of respect for authority figures and lack motivation to make progress. Since then, Derrick has made significant improvements. He went from failing all subjects in school to being on honor roll. He participates in therapy and shows motivation to make positive choices in his life. One day he would like to become a judge so that he can help other children in foster care be heard. His current hobbies are shopping, traveling and helping out outside.
