Kaydi, 17 years old, NE | 16 DAYS WAITING

Central Plains Center for Services

Despite having been through four different foster homes in just one year, Kaydi continues to persevere. She actively participates in speech competitions, one-act plays, and musical theater, earning multiple state medals along the way. Her creativity shines through in her writing and artistic endeavors, and she maintains an optimistic outlook on life. Beyond her talents, Kaydi is also funny, kind, and smart, making her an inspiring presence to those around her.

Kaydi is sweet and resilient and is currently in the foster care system. Music is her safe space; it's how she copes and finds calm, comfort, and strength when things feel overwhelming. Having her own pair of AirPods would be life-changing for her mental health. They would give her a private, peaceful escape where she can listen to the music that grounds her, focus in school, and feel a sense of ownership and normalcy that everyone deserves. After spending her last two Christmases without any gifts at all, this small gift would show Kaydi that she is seen, cared for, and worthy of things that bring her joy.
