Trip to Universal Studios for Lanitta who wants to enjoy a trip of a lifetime!
Posted Aug 4, 2017
Lanita has the exciting opportunity to travel out-of-state to attend the National Independent Living Conference in Orlando, FL August 28 - September 1, 2017. SaySo will cover the cost of her flight, lodging, and conference registration, but Lanitta must have the resources available to cover her food, transportation in Florida, and spending money, including the cost of the planned trip to Universal Studios on August 29th. This is a new and special opportunity for Lanitta, and enabling her to attend and participate in the trip will go far to encourage and support both her personal aspirations and her work to improve the lives of children in foster care.
Lanita is 25 years old and lives in NC
Lanitta is in the 11th grade, and she is a very committed and hard-working student. She finished the 10th grade with a 4.18 G.P.A. and takes honors-level classes. Currently, Lanitta catches the bus for school at 5:15 a.m. and travels over an hour to the high school she attended last year, because she feels it will provide her with a better education and experience than other schools closer to where she currently lives. She loves reading and when she grows up she wants to be an accountant. Lanitta has been in foster care for three years and there no plans for her to return home or to live with relatives. She will most likely age out of foster care and continue on to college. She plans to study accounting in college. Lanitta has attended a couple of summer accounting programs for students in foster care, and she is on the local leadership board for SAYSO, a state-wide organization for youth in foster care.
