A TV for Jackie to have a welcome distraction

Posted Dec 18, 2024
Jackie is living alone for the first time in her life. She has expressed feeling nervous about the noises in her apartment building and believes that having the TV on in the background will help her relax, focus, and feel less lonely. She enjoys the camaraderie of morning news programs and likes to stay informed about the weather forecast and local events.

Jackie is 18 years old and lives in NJ

Jackie has been in over 20 foster homes during her three separate experiences in the foster care system. Despite her challenging childhood, she remains hopeful. She successfully completed her first semester at community college and is taking full advantage of the services her college offers. Jackie is actively seeking part-time employment to help cover her monthly expenses. She loves to cook and looks forward to having a roommate one day. She enjoys having a plan—not just for the year ahead, but even for tomorrow.
