young boy in out of home care and requires an IPad for school

Young boy in foster care in a drought impacted region, he is one of many siblings and has already had a rough start to life. He is unable to safely live with his parents. He has a lot of difficulty connecting with other children and struggles in school.

This student attends a bring your own device school. He is in need of an IPad to participate in classroom activities and complete his homework. Without this device he will need to borrow and share a class IPad and will be unable to complete the homework, making him different from the other children. He is already in foster care and may already feel different from the other children. It is hoped that having a device will assist him in feeling the same as the other children, allow him to complete his school work and help him get ahead in his education.
