Ky Lee, 18 years old

Wish submitted by:

Ky is an outgoing, funny, and thoughtful young person. She is deeply committed to disrupting cycles of generational trauma, which she does through showing great responsibility in her household, staying focused on her education to one day be in the medical field, and taking care of her community with immense love and listening ears. She has a history of foster care throughout her school years and has been impacted by a lack of resources and financial security.

Ky is requesting food support while her mother continues to deal with heart-related health issues and periodic hospitalization. After being out of work for two weeks and unclear when she will return, the family (she and two sisters) could really benefit from additional food assistance to alleviate stress and ensure that they have enough warm, nourishing food on the table. Ky started her new job today but won't be paid for two weeks, so she is hoping for a bit more reprieve until she gets a stable check.
