Armani, 5 years old

Wish submitted by:

Armani is a kind and gentle girl. After bouncing around from foster home to foster home, Armani and her sister are finally able to live with the distant relatives who know them best. Her current caregivers are retired and provide the safety and stability that she needs to thrive. Armani was ecstatic to be reunited with these caregivers, as she always referenced them as "mom" and "pop." She is finally back in her forever home while they work towards finalizing adoption. Armani loves gymnastics and playing with her big sister. She also loves helping her "mom". She is sometimes playfully referred to as her shadow since she rarely leaves her "mom's" side.

Recently, this family endured the harrowing experience of two back-to-back hurricanes that turned their lives upside down. With limited financial resources, they were unable to evacuate and had no choice but to shelter in place, braving the fierce winds and relentless rain. The aftermath of the first storm left them without power for several days, resulting in the heartbreaking loss of all their groceries. Just when they began to replenish their supplies and hope for better days, the second storm struck, plunging them back into darkness for an additional six days. This meant that the new food they had purchased also perished, leaving them in dire straits once more. Now, as a household of seven, they are struggling more than ever to rebuild their pantry and put food on the table. A gift card would provide them with the critical support they need to purchase groceries, helping to ease their burdens during this challenging time.
