A tablet for McKenzie who deserves to focus on herself.

Posted Feb 27, 2019
For more than half of her life McKenzie has "parented" her younger sibling. Now that their lives have gained some stability, McKenzie is struggling to let go of that responsibility and just be a kid. Her family and caseworker hope that a tablet will be a good distraction and allow her to take more of an interest in her own well-being. A tablet can help her find herself and her own interests, as they are loaded with a variety of shows, tutorials on many different hobbies, and games.

McKenzie is 9 years old and lives in PA

McKenzie has been in care she she was about 18 months old. As a result, she took to "parenting" her younger sister at a young age. She was recently reunited with her Grandparents and is hoping that their loving care will become a permanent thing for them. McKenzie loves to play with everything and anyone that will make time for her.
