Groceries for Katie while she finishes her unpaid shadowing hours
Katie, 25 years old, UT
Wish submitted by:
1999 CollectiveKatie is an inspiring and courageous 24-year-old former foster youth and aspiring nursing student whose life was dramatically altered in June 2024 when she suffered a stroke due to a brain bleed caused by an Arterial Venous Malformation (AVM). After spending two months hospitalized, Katelyn has shown extraordinary fortitude, making a remarkable recovery by single-handedly teaching herself to walk and talk again through intensive physical, speech, and occupational therapy. Her unwavering focus is now entirely on returning to her nursing program this coming semester, determined to restart her journey toward her dream career despite the lasting disabilities resulting from the stroke.
Through no fault of her own, Katie lost her housing earlier this year and has been couch surfing with friends while maintaining mostly A’s in her nursing program. She has been unable to work many hours at her job due to her school being full-time and requiring her to complete unpaid shadowing hours as part of her training to become a CNA. This wish will help alleviate the stress of food insecurity for Katie as she finishes her nursing program. This wish was split into two parts to help Katie get by for a while. This is wish 2 of 2.
