An iPad for Makenzie to stay in touch with family

Posted Jan 7, 2025
Makenzie is eager to maintain strong connections with her family, especially since many of her loved ones live far away. She believes that a tablet, particularly an iPad, would be an ideal solution to help her stay in touch. The thought of being able to engage in video calls, send thoughtful messages, and effortlessly share photos fills her with excitement. She imagines the joy of seeing familiar faces on screen and hearing their voices, bridging the physical distance that separates them. For Makenzie, this tablet isn't just a piece of technology; it's a lifeline that brings her closer to the people she cherishes, allowing her to feel their presence in her life despite the miles between them.

Makenzie is 19 years old and lives in NJ

Makenzie has been in the foster care system since April 2022 and is currently living in foster care, away from her family. Despite the challenges she faces, Makenzie has aspirations of living independently after graduation. She is particularly interested in pursuing her education at college or a trade school for cosmetology. In her free time, she enjoys hanging out with friends and getting her hair done—a passion that aligns with her career goals. Maintaining connections with her friends and family, especially those who live far away, is very important to her, as these relationships provide support and comfort during this transitional period in her life.
