iPhone for Mariana to reach all of her school and career goals

Posted Nov 21, 2024
For Mariana, the absence of a working phone creates significant barriers in her daily life. In a world where communication is pivotal, she struggles to reach potential employers, stay connected with her cheer team, and manage the hectic demands of her busy schedule. The impact of this disconnect is profound—she misses out on job opportunities that could shape her future, and she feels increasingly isolated from her teammates and friends. An iPhone would be more than just a device for Mariana; it would be a lifeline. With its seamless communication features, she could effortlessly connect with prospective employers, submit job applications in real time, and manage her schedule with ease. This essential tool would empower her to take control of her career and maintain vital social connections, allowing her to thrive both on and off the cheerleading mat. In essence, an iPhone would transform Mariana's challenges into opportunities, bridging the gap between her aspirations and reality.

Mariana is 17 years old and lives in CA

Mariana is an extraordinary young woman whose strength, intelligence, and kindness have touched everyone around her.

Being on the team requires constant and effective communication with her teammates, something she handles with great responsibility. In addition to her current achievements, Mariana is working hard toward her next big goal: securing a job and attending college.
