A pair of portable chargers for Jay who is always on the go

Posted Oct 22, 2024
Jay spends much of his day juggling GED classes, work, and driving school, leaving him with little free time. To stay connected with his school, boss, and foster parents, he has asked for a pair of portable chargers for Christmas. These chargers plug directly into his phone, ensuring his battery remains fresh throughout the day. Jay appreciates that they are small enough to fit in his pockets, as he prefers not to carry around too many items. With these portable chargers, he can stay charged and connected while on the go.

Jay is 17 years old and lives in GA

Jay is a mature and intelligent young man with a strong work ethic and a desire to succeed. He spent much of his childhood caring for his mother before entering foster care, and he is now living with a supportive foster family. Maintaining a steady job, Jay is actively working towards his GED while also studying for his learner's permit to drive. Despite his respectful and easygoing nature, his foster parents have observed that Jay often feels the need to seek permission to rest and enjoy himself, which can hinder his ability to savor his childhood. Recently, he took a positive step by joining a boxing club and an ultimate frisbee league, where he's not only making friends but also learning to balance his responsibilities with fun and leisure activities. Through these experiences, Jay is beginning to find a healthier equilibrium between work and enjoyment.
