A Gaming Laptop for Lewi who had to leave his behind

Posted Apr 28, 2022
Lewi is requesting a new laptop. He had to leave his behind at a former foster home which has been really hard. He used his laptop as a calming technique to help release any anger or frustration he may be experiencing. While in therapy at the home, it was seen as beneficial for him to engage in video games to allow this release of pent-up energy. Since leaving the home and not having his laptop, it has caused some stress to Lewi, especially since he is now living in a home with several other boys with whom, he does not particularly enjoy their company.

Lewi is 20 years old and lives in OH

Lewi was born in Ethiopia and sadly, both of his birth parents were both killed. His aunt took him and his 2 other siblings into her home, but became overwhelmed and decided to make an adoption plan for Lewi. Lewi was adopted by an American family and began the hard work to become acclimated to his new country. Due to the loss of his parents and siblings, he struggled with behaviors. His adoptive family decided they could not continue to parent him and had him placed into foster care. Lewi continued to struggle with his emotions and was placed into several residential care facilities, without making much positive improvement. However, when he was placed into a new facility last year, he decided he wanted better for himself, he wanted to graduate from high school, get and job and become a successful adult. Since that decision, Lewi worked hard in therapy, his relationships and school work. He successfully stepped down from residential and is now in a foster home, looking forward to being a typical young man. I feel Lewi has made amazing progress in himself and will continue to work hard to do whatever he decides he wants to do.
