An iPad for Jay to FaceTime with his sister when he misses her

Posted Jul 18, 2023
Jay really wants to get his hands on an iPad. He misses his sister a lot since they were separated and placed in different foster homes. With an iPad, he can easily FaceTime her and keep in touch more often. He also wants to use it to stay connected with his friends over summer break, especially since his current foster home is quite far from his school community.

Jay is 13 years old and lives in NJ

Jelani, or Jay, is currently living in a foster home and is not able to live with his biological siblings. Jelani has been working very hard with his service providers to be able to manage his emotions. Jelani regularly contacts his biological family and thinks about them. Jelani loves to read and aspires to become a journalist when he grows up. Jelani has many friends in school, is a member of the choir, and takes on leadership roles whenever possible.
