BIRTHDAY WISH

Tablet for 14 y/o Annie so she can keep in touch with her 7 siblings who are all in different foster home placements

Posted Feb 15, 2017
Annie has 7 siblings, all in different locations. Two of her siblings have moved more than 100 miles away and one is about to be moved to relative's home several states away, which will make sibling visits virtually impossible. In addition, Annie does not have access to a computer in her foster home to complete her school work and is limited to using the computer at school or the local library which is not walking distance from the home,. With an i-pad, Annie will be able to face time with her siblings, keep up with her school work and have an outlet for her writing.

Annie is 21 years old and lives in NJ

Soon to be 14 years old, Annie is one of 8 children removed from her parents home and now lives in foster care. She is a talented writer and likes to " journal" as an outlet to deal with her emotions that have resulted from the separation from her siblings. Annie hopes to be a nurse when she grows up so "she can make other kids feel better".
