A Tablet for Payton to reconnect with his friends in New York

Posted Feb 1, 2021
Payton misses his friends back home. While he is able to call them, he has to use his Aunt or Grandmother's phones so he cannot talk to them as often or as long as he would like. Payton could greatly benefit from a tablet with a case so he can play games and keep in touch with his friends even more.

Payton is 13 years old and lives in NJ

Payton is a resilient kiddo who is adjusting to a brand new environment. Both of his parents passed away, so he moved from the city in New York to rural New Jersey to live with his Godmother and aunt. Payton loves LEGOs and dinosaurs and will happily detail facts about his toys and games whenever asked. He is very friendly, open, and appreciative, and he has a fantastic relationship with his Godmother who has dedicated her home and life to him. Payton’s aunt would like to see him grow up to be an engineer, which makes sense given his penchant for building and creating, and his understanding of the inner workings of the games he plays or things he builds. Payton also has some excess energy, possibly as a result of some of the experiences he had both before and shortly after his birth, so he really needs outlets to express his energy to be happy.
