A Mattress for Samantha who needs a new bed

Posted Jul 10, 2019
Samantha moved into foster care with a bed set from her adoptive grandmother's home but that bed is now broken. As her bedroom is smaller in her foster home, Samantha would like to get a smaller bed. She would love a new mattress so she can enjoy her new space and make it feel like home.

Samantha is 22 years old and lives in NJ

Samantha is a shy, resilient and hardworking adolescent who entered foster care after her adoptive mother, who is her maternal grandmother passed away after suffering from a stroke. Samantha obtained her GED and will be attending community college. Samantha wants to work in the health care field as she wants to work with and help people of all ages. She feels strongly about this after seeing her grandmother be cared for my medical professionals. Samantha like to keep to herself and is a very private person. She likes to listen to music, watch movies and hang out with a few friends!

"Thank you for the laptop. Mine broke and I really needed a new one. I could not afford a new one. I depend on it for so much. I’m going into my senor year of college and will definitely need the laptop for all my class work. My goal is to attend graduate school to study clinical psychology after I get my bachelor’s. Thank you. "
