Foster Kid's Family Plan Phone Reveals She's Officially Part Of Family

A foster teen couldn't hide her delight when she was surprised with a cellphone which had been added to her family's plan to symbolize her becoming part of the family. Social worker Latrece Madison, 34, from Chicago, Illinois, met Jewel when she was working in a local school in September 2022. A few months later, Jewel, then 16, and her nine sisters were placed into foster care, with Jewel staying with two of her younger sisters, who were aged two and 15 at the time. When that placement didn't work out, Latrece did everything she could to help the three kids, making phone calls to her assistant principal and coworkers to try to support them. Having spoken to her husband, Latrece decided they would care for the three sisters until they could find a permanent home. Over time, however, 21 initial days turned into five months, and five months turned into a year. The three girls formed a close bond to Latrece and her husband, with Jewel expressing she wanted to be added to her family phone plan so Latrice's family would always be her home. And so, ahead of Christmas 2024, Latrece knew exactly what to get her foster daughter.
