HOLIDAY WISH

An iPad for Kayla to be successful in her surgical tech program

Posted Dec 2, 2024
Kayla has faced the challenge of being moved from place to place since she was five, yet she has always maintained a positive attitude. Despite her circumstances, she achieved a significant milestone by completing her GED, making her the first in her family to finish high school and pursue college. Now a first-year surgical tech student, Kayla encounters the daily struggle of transporting a heavy load of books to and from school. An iPad would be an invaluable tool in her academic journey to alleviate this burden. It would not only lighten her load but also serve multiple purposes: allowing her to take notes, record lab demonstrations during lectures for future reference, and study effectively for exams. With the help of an iPad, Kayla could stay organized, managing her notes, assignments, and scholarship applications with ease. This device would significantly enhance her ability to thrive in her demanding program, helping her to reach her full potential.

Kayla is 20 years old and lives in GA

Kayla truly embodies the definition of perseverance. After being moved from place to place since the age of five, she has maintained a positive attitude and good spirits. Following an emotional departure from her last placement, Kayla entered a transitional living program and achieved a significant milestone—she completed her GED, making her the first in her family to finish high school and pursue college. As Kayla prepares to age out of extended foster care, she feels nervous about the upcoming transition. She has a deep love for nature and the outdoors and enjoys taking walks in her community. In addition to her outdoor activities, she plays the guitar and is currently studying to become a surgical technician. Kayla is not only full of love and laughter; she has a remarkable ability to connect with others and make friends easily. She is always willing to lend a helping hand or say something silly to brighten someone’s day.
