A New Cell Phone for Andrew who needs a way to stay connected

Posted Apr 11, 2022
Prior to going in to foster care, Andrew's grandmother purchased him a cell phone. He has had the same cell phone since 2016 and has relied solely on the WiFi at the homeless shelter where he resides in order to make calls and text. Andrew recently received a housing voucher and will soon be moving out of the shelter into his first apartment. He will need a new phone that can be connected to a phone plan, as his current phone is too old to link to a wireless provider. He would be so grateful to receive a new phone that will allow him to stay connected to the world without having to rely solely on WiFi.

Andrew is 23 years old and lives in NY

Andrew is an upbeat, motivated young man who has been living in a homeless shelter for the past three years. He recently received an emergency housing voucher and is in the process of searching for his very first apartment. Next year, he will take classes to gain his High School Equivalency (HSE) and will complete an internship. His interests include gaming, politics, journalism and cooking.
