Grocery shopping for Denise who needs food and household essentials

Posted Mar 11, 2024
Denise has maintained her apartment and has remained current on all her bills since she has left foster care. She has reached out for some help with getting a Food Lion gift card to purchase some much needed household essentials. She is hoping to get some more cleaning supplies as well as some food for her pantry and freezer. Granting this wish would be super helpful. This wish was broken into two parts, this is wish 1 of 2.

Denise is 22 years old and lives in NC

Denise aged out of foster care a few years ago after being in care for 10 years. She has shown a great deal of resilience since aging out. She has remained a student at the local community college as well she has remained employee. She has aspirations of being a social media influencer but is also working on a trade/degree in healthcare.

Awesome Human grants the wish for Denise! Thanks Awesome Human.

"Denise, I hope that you're able to keep things up; it's so hard to stay afloat when the world is pressing down. Things might be tough, but people who care about you will always be around to help--sometimes, all you need to do is just ask. Good luck, Clay (PS, if you're interested, I would recommend an app called "Too Good to Go" that helps find local restaurants that sell food for cheaper instead of wasting anything. Same quality in my experience.)"
