Regina, 14 years old, MO | NEEDED BY 09/18

Wish submitted by:

Regina is a quiet and responsible young lady who has experienced a difficult time in her life before coming into foster care. Since living with her foster family, she has found a safe and supportive home where she can feel comfortable being herself and continue to grow. She is respectful, follows directions, and does what is expected of her without needing to be reminded. Regina is a lovely child .

Regina would love to have an iPad of her own. As a young lady in foster care who attends school online, she needs a reliable device not just to complete assignments, but to keep up and stay engaged. This will help her stay on top of her work and avoid falling behind. Beyond schoolwork, an iPad would let her explore educational videos and creative apps that support her learning in ways a textbook can't, while also giving her an easy way to stay connected with friends, something that matters even more for a teen navigating foster care, where relationships can be one of the few steady things in her life. Just as importantly, having something that's entirely her own, to personalize, use for downtime, and simply enjoy, gives Regina a small sense of ownership and normalcy as she continues building a happy, stable life with her foster family.
