This year, for her birthday, Lori is longing for a helping hand in acquiring a new cell phone. Her current phone, which was sadly damaged during a recent move, has become a source of frustration; it’s temperamental and often unreliable, working intermittently when she needs it the most. Despite these challenges, Lori has been diligently saving her allowances and spare cash, determined to invest in a dependable device that will keep her connected. Securing a new phone would not only allow her to maintain close contact with her family and friends but also help her feel more included among her peers. Having a reliable phone would give Lori a sense of belonging, as it would enable her to engage in the same social activities that other kids her age enjoy.
