Christian has been asking for a phone for a long time, and his foster care placement has decided that he is now old enough and responsible enough to have one. This will be his first phone! He has developed a plan to pay for the prepaid minutes each month using the small amount of money he earns until he finds a job. Since graduating, Christian has struggled to stay in touch with the people he feels comfortable with, and having a phone would help him maintain social relationships and reconnect with old friends.
