A phone for Ruthie so she can land her first job

Posted Jan 27, 2025
Ruthie has taken a big step in her life by moving into her first independent living placement. With her 18th birthday just around the corner, she can't help but feel excited about the freedom that comes with this milestone. One of the things she's particularly looking forward to is getting her very first phone. Having a prepaid phone will be crucial for Ruthie as she starts applying for jobs, especially since she dreams of working with animals. It’s not just about the job, though; it’s about creating a bright future for herself. The phone will also help her find her way around her new city. With a phone at her disposal, Ruthie feels ready to embrace the world and make her dreams a reality.

Ruthie is 18 years old and lives in MA

Ruthie is an ambitious, resilient young woman who recently moved into her first independent living placement. She's been in foster care since age six and has moved ten times, but despite the challenges she's faced, she makes the most of every opportunity. She currently serves on the leadership board for a local nonprofit that helps foster youth like herself. In her spare time, she likes talking to her baby niece and teaching herself how to play the piano. She loves animals and is excited to get started working so she can pursue a career in animal welfare.
