Cassandra's placement recently lost their job. Just before Christmas, Cassandra faced another heartbreaking blow with the passing of her mother, leaving her in a profound state of grief. The holidays, usually filled with joy and celebration, felt empty and stark for her. With her heart heavy and her finances tight, Cassandra was unable to buy any gifts for herself or others. Among her wishes, she longed for a pair of AirPods. The sleek, wireless headphones would bring her a touch of solace, allowing her to immerse herself in music while cleaning her home, getting through workouts at the gym, tackling her job responsibilities, or simply enjoying some downtime. Each moment of freedom to lose herself in melodies seemed like a cherished escape she desperately sought during such a challenging time.
