Oliver would love to have a phone so he can stay in contact with him. He would be able to contact his case manager directly to be involved in his case and work toward achieving his goal of being independent and graduating from custody. He could also contact friends, family, foster parents, and Chafee Specialist. It is very important to him that he is directly involved and informed by the decision-makers in his life and that he has a voice regarding recommendations. The phone would also provide peace of mind regarding his safety when he is walking to school or to the park and can call for help if needed.
