An iPad for Trula to encourage her passion for digital art

Posted Dec 1, 2024
Trula is a resilient and creative young girl who has faced many challenges throughout her life. Despite these difficulties, she continues to shine. One of her greatest passions is art, particularly digital art, which allows her to express herself in a healing and empowering way. However, without a personal device of her own, Trula is limited to using a school computer, which restricts her ability to explore her full artistic potential outside of school hours. She dreams of having an iPad for Christmas that would give her the freedom to create anytime and anywhere. With it, she could easily draw, design, and explore her artistic talents. Whether experimenting with digital illustrations, editing photos, or simply sketching, the iPad would provide her with a versatile tool to channel her creativity and express her emotions through art. An iPad would help Trula stay connected with her family in addition to art. She could use it to video chat with her grandmother and older sister, helping her maintain and strengthen the relationships that mean so much to her. It would also be an outlet for Trula’s creativity and a bridge to the people who provide her with love and support.

Trula is 15 years old and lives in OH

Trula has faced many challenges throughout her life, spending much of it in and out of foster care. She has experienced multiple placements and even spent a year and a half in residential care.

This environment has provided her with the stability she needed to flourish, making it the happiest she has ever been. Trula has a passion for animals and art and enjoys doing hair and makeup. She is incredibly caring towards the people she is closest to and maintains strong connections with her grandmother and older sister, staying in regular contact with both.
