A phone to help Shauntay get a job and stay in touch with her kids

Posted Feb 12, 2024
Shauntay is back on the job market after her most recent gig working nights were taking a toll on her sleep and her ability to spend quality time with her kids. Unfortunately, she hasn't had a working phone for months, and it's made her life incredibly difficult and stressful. Shauntay has a sim card, and her phone bill has been paid for the next two years, so all she needs is the physical phone, and she will be able to be reached by prospective employers, not to mention stay in touch with her lawyer and her daughter's therapist who she sees multiple times a week.

Shauntay is 28 years old and lives in NY

Shauntay is an incredible young woman who works and is raising three amazing children. During her childhood she experienced significant hardship at home with her family of origin, which resulted in her eventual placement in the foster system. She has since aged out and is devoted to ensuring her own children experience stability in a way she did not experience.
