Arabelle, 15 years old, MO | 14 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Arabelle is a sweet, caring young lady who is a true girly girl and loves all things fun and feminine. She has a special place in her heart for animals and enjoys spending time with them whenever she gets the chance. Arabelle came into foster care last August after growing up without the opportunity for a formal education, and while learning has sometimes been challenging for her, she's worked incredibly hard over the past year and made tremendous progress with the support of her foster family.

Arabelle wishes for a tablet to help her continue making progress with her education, since she entered care with skills closer to a pre-K level despite being of middle school age. A tablet would give her access to educational games and learning programs that meet her exactly where she is and grow with her as she progresses, letting her practice important skills in a fun, encouraging way without feeling overwhelmed. Having her own would be another valuable tool to help Arabelle build confidence and keep celebrating just how far she's already come.
