Megan recently started her first job, and the only way the owner can contact her is to call the phone of the foster parent. She plans to use her income to pay for service for a phone once she has one. Megan also wants to participate in after-school activities (specifically softball) but is hindered by not having a reliable way to communicate with the coach and other players. And finally, the only way Megan can have a private conversation with her Social Worker is to borrow a phone from a friend or to ask to use the phone in the school office. Having a phone may seem like a luxury, but it would really make her life just a bit easier.
