A pay as-you-go cell phone for Aniya who wants to feel like a "normal" teenage girl

Posted Aug 21, 2017
With switching from placement to placement, Aniya was not able to keep her cell phone. She is asking for a pay as you go cell phone so she can feel some sense of normalcy as she transitions to her 4th placement.

Aniya is 23 years old and lives in NJ

Aniya is an amazing young lady who has been in foster care since October 2016. After initially being removed from her mom, she is now in her third different placement. She has just been approved for transitional living and has a part-time job! Aniya's goal is to get accepted to a four year college and she is doing what she can to make that happen!
