Dejanae, 17 years old, CA | 13 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Dajane is a dedicated student and a loving older sister who keeps doing well in school despite everything she has faced. Since she was removed from her home and placed with her siblings, she has stepped up to help care for them and make sure their needs are met. Through it all, she has found a genuine passion for reading. During visits with her CASA, she asks to go to bookstores or the library, and the joy books bring her is easy to see. Her love of learning, caring heart, and commitment to her education deserve encouragement and celebration.

Dejanae loves reading, and it has become an important source of comfort and relaxation. Since being removed from her home and placed with her siblings, she has taken on additional responsibilities, often stepping up to help care for them and ensure their needs are met. While she has shown strength and maturity through these challenges, she also deserves moments to be a child and enjoy something she loves. Reading gives her an escape from the stress of everyday life and lets her unwind and focus on herself. She has enjoyed her reading tablet so much that it has worn out from frequent use. A Nook reading tablet would not only encourage her passion for reading but also provide her with a much-needed outlet for relaxation, comfort, and joy.
