A laptop for Iyanna who loves her siblings and is a great caretaker

Posted Dec 17, 2018
Iyanna loves to learn and help her siblings, and she never asks for anything for herself. She is doing better in school, but she could really benefit from her own computer. This is especially true as her school work becomes more challenging and she will need more help; her teachers are available at certain times of the evening through Skype to help their students. She would love to be able to get the extra help offered at home.

iyanna is 16 years old and lives in NJ

Iyanna is a very lovely young lady. She is taking on a lot of responsibility in her life. At a young age she entered care because she was constantly left to care for her younger siblings. Iyanna is very "parentified." She has to be reminded at times to be a kid and enjoy playing with friends. She doesn't complain at all and she is always willing to lend a helping hand. She and her siblings have been together since the beginning. She shares everything with them and still try's to help out as "mom". She was always focus on her siblings so she began to slip in school. She had a very hard time adjusting to someone taking care of them even though she was right there.
