A TV for a foster youth to put in her dorm room

Posted May 15, 2017
Mayra wants a TV to be able to relax and watch her favorite shows when she is not in class or studying. Mayra is a freshman and has to work to put herself through college. She is unable to receive some of the state aid given to most foster youth, so she must take out college loans and work to pay for her college expenses. A TV would make her so happy as she is unable to save for her own.

Mayra is 26 years old and lives in CA

Mayra is a double major in Spanish and education She is in her third year, she hopes to one day be a teacher, then eventually a professor. She is a long way away from that, but, in the mean time she spends most of her time studying, reading for fun, attending soccer games on campus, and getting involved in leadership activities.
