An Xbox for Maggie who feels like she can conquer any challenge online
Posted Aug 4, 2019
Growing up I never had many friends, but I always had the characters in my video games. Even now as an adult, I've met many friends through video games and I have friends from around the world that I never imagined I could have. Over a headset, no one knows what you look like or what you're going through. No one can tell your anxiety acting up, they just think your microphone is cutting out when you stutter. Gaming is the one thing that helps me decompress after a long day, especially after dealing with my children and work and everything else that comes with taking care of a house. It has helped me forget any struggles I'm going through, even if it's just for a short time. I get feel like a normal human being and, most of all, as if I'm a kid again, without a worry in the world, except beating the next level or boss!
Maggie is 32 years old and lives in NJ
Maggie is a young woman who aged out of foster care when she was 21. During her 7 years in foster care, she lived in 7 placements in the first 4 years and then spent the last 3 years living independently or with friends. Even though she is no longer in the system, Maggie is still incredibly active in raising awareness and support for kids in care. As the President of the Ocean County Youth Advisory Board, she has traveled all over the state and to DC to advocate for the rights of children impacted by child welfare. Maggie is currently working and attending college full time to become a therapist that focuses on trauma and wants to use those skills to assist children in care and our military. Maggie enjoys playing video games, doing arts and crafts, and reading. She is also stepmom to two adorable kids (Isabella and Hunter) and loves it!
