PA DHS - Lebanon CountyJaime is an active and athletic young person who loves running and enjoys participating in cheerleading. In her free time, she enjoys getting lost in adventure books and novels, allowing her imagination to take her on new journeys. Jaime receives support from the Department of Human Services.
Jamie is stepping into her teenage years, and her life is getting busier. Between track meets and cheerleading, she’s often at practices and events that end at different times, and without a phone, she has no easy way to let her foster family know when she’s ready to be picked up. A cell phone of her own would solve that, keeping her connected to home and making sure she’s never left waiting after a game. It would also let her keep up with her teammates and friends, texting about practice, making plans, and staying in the loop like every other teen. For Jamie, having a phone means feeling like a regular kid, not the foster kid who’s always on the outside of the group chat.
